My cars in the bodyshop and I've decided to paint my grill black. Would you go body colour (obsidian black) or a straight gloss black?

The OEM grill I took out of my vehicle and the replacement one I bought from AllMercedes.com were both one piece units. The grill removal from the frame didn't appear to be possible. But it was very easy to just unbolt the approximate 8 small bolts to remove and replace with another front grill. On my vehicle that has the three small plastic lower grills that I removed last summer for repainting, I had to first learn how they were held in to ensure not breaking them........they're just held in by pressure brackets on the back of each piece.
