Question Painting the stock grill...

My car is being repainted due to me hitting a deer a while back. I got a 2005 3-bar oem grill and can get it painted to match the car for free. So insted of the flat plastic black the grill well match the color of my car (black).

You guys think it'll look good or stick with it unpainted?

I think it would look good. That would be one of those things where no one really would know unless you told them too. Go for it man.

My car is gray and I have a badgeless grill painted the same color as the car. Looks better than black.

Thumbs down

I decided not to paint the grill. The body shop would do it for free, but said there is a very very good chance the paint well flex and chip off in two years or so. They think this is why the stock grill was never painted. I don't want a flaky paint grill, so I'm going unpainted.
