Default Wanted Pics - Anyone Painted the Mesh of their Grill (non-black)?

Just wondering if anyone had pics of their mesh on the grill painted the same color as the grill frame....how does that look?

For example....Silver mesh with silver frame grill (other than the color black please).

Thanks in advance.

Pete

i wouldn't do the silver with silver 2 much out of the grill imo, same with white or gold.....i think darker colors u can get away with it like graphite,black,blue,the new darker blues and such....mine is blue with blue and its not over the top imo...

Just a coincidence that someone just posted in another thread with silver grill and silver mesh.

Hey guyz...wow...lots of pics... thanks!

I think I'm gonna pass right now...unless I can find matching mesh to put on my stock front bumper to match the grill....right now, I have no way of finding the matching mesh for the grill.
