Was always a fan of ONE color.
Can you post pics if you've done it?

Here is my 07 starfire pearl w/ painted chrome mldg. Ive been tempted to either black out the L emblem or even paint it the same color as the car.

i work at a bodyshop as an estimator so i got the work done for free. I actually purchased a 2nd chrome grille piece from Lexus and painted that one. If you just wanted your original piece painted, it would probably be between 75-100 dollars.

Yes i meant the whole lot.
As already depicted in the white, doing the chrome only is already added niceness...
I think there is too much stripes in the grille, maybe color-code only every second scripe?

I think color coding the chrome looks nice-n-clean but I'd have to see pics of the every other painted grill thing???
