Exclamation My grill... And I'm not talking bout my teeth!

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?

Props to vegastrashed for the inspiration

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.
