Silver grille on a silver S class

I'm thinking of getting my chrome grille painted silver to match my car. The chrome would remain the same, just the strips behind the chrome would be silver. I think I've seen this done somewhere before but can't find any pictures. Does anyone have a pic of one like that or can offer their feedback on it. Thanks.

I've seen it, and IMNTBHO, it looks way too busy (kind of like painting mesh to match the car). Either paint the chrome or leave it alone, I say.

If you want to paint either piece of the grill though just take it apart (it's 2 pieces)

I've seen in on a brand new silver CL at the dealership and it was hot. Of course the CL grille is bigger. As long as the paint matches it will be a nice enhancement. But if you really want to set it off, go with the big grille, paint it silver, and add the flat hood ornament. Just my 2.

I don't think I really want the star in the grille. I like the simplicity in the stock chrome grille but I figure painting the strips silver would enhance the looks...
