Cool Minor Visual Change - Plastidip Grille

I felt the semi-sparkly dull grey of the grill slats lacked contrast, so I made my first attempt at plasti-dip. I should have scored it before pulling the tape off, and I'll have to redo it, but I like the end result. Hard to tell in this lighting, but the contrast is much improved:

Thoughts?

Looks good man!
Never really understood the hate surrounding plastidip...I've seen some really legit professional jobs done with it as long as you're using the right materials (ie. spray gun, not rattle can).
Nonetheless nice job
