Pulled the trigger with painting the grille in Aspen White Pearl
So I painted the grille along with lower frames and the front bumper itself (it had some scratches) and I must admit that I love the result. My upcoming bronze Z will definitely get this mod too.
Unfortunately AWP is a pretty wicked paint. From the beginning plastic parts of my Z looked noticably yellowish comparing with metal parts, now its whitish but even parts made of different plastic still have different hue, not even mentioning metal parts. Doesn't matter much but two-component white paints are definitely not meant for perfectionists
Pics taken at late sunlight and dusk to get the right impression (iphone5 quality :p)

now the Z looks as it should
I would still mess with altering the bumper but I will probably try this with my bronze Z

I hope u put on a clear bra. I Made a mistake of not doing it and now there is chip on the grille. Lol. Im getting it redone. I noticed that u also painted the silver trim by the foglights. I was thinking of painting mine black but after seeing what u did, i may have to rethink the color choice.

great work, really tones down the oversized front, esp the surround. but I think I'd want some silver on the plenum. I wonder what dark chrome would look like. The surround, needs to body color or be minimized in some way. I guess I still haven't gotten to what I think is the perfect look I'd want.
