Question for all. What to paint on grill?



OK I want to ask the experts!!! What combination of numbers in the picture would you paint if any? Kinda like a poll, I have hard time picturing these things. Thanks for any help

Not much of an expert but I think you should:
2-BLACK
5/6-As is
Either paint 3 or 4/1 Body color

Telling him to spare him the dumping he'll get from the crew!

I still love mine, but I know it's like a 50-50 thing for the boys here at AZ.

$208 total. I dunno if this is a good deal or over-priced but I'm verry happy with the work, as it was done at a reputable shop. (Lamon Autobody - Mt. Holly, NJ if anyone is interested) I love how it turned out... Hmmm now just have to decide what's next
