Post black grille

hmm...okay so im thinking of painting my grille black. the wheels are black w/ chrome lip...tints...black sidemarkers; i think the grille would look good black...but i want to know some of your opinions. i dont want to go overboard, but there have been a few pics of similar cars to mine on here, with the grille.

also, i would do it myself and have done things like this before at the shop; etc so im not really too scared about doing it. however, i haven't painted a grille before and am kind of wondering how to go about it (what paint, etc). there are probably numerous threads about this topic...

thanks in advance,
4matic
