Default painting the blackout grill trim...

recently installed the blackout grills on my dolphin S4 to tone down the chrome look on the front of the car. I like the lower grill as is now but I'm not sure about the black plastic trim on the top grill. I'm thinking of painting the trim to match the dolphin.

Has anyone painted these?

Default pretty common for the b5 especially the rs4 grill. but people on the b6 forum have painted the trim

to match on various grills. usually looks pretty good.

Default I painted mine black and it makes...

The front grill openning look much more
intimidating. Had my buddy's s4 with the
chrome trim next to mine and it looked great.
My car is silver with the chrome mirrors and it
also makes the mirrors stick out more as that is
the only visible chrome other than the logos.
Preping is the key to successful paint on that
plastic and don't use the krylon **** for plasticks. Pure marketing. Good luck and let us know. I own a b5 s4 whatever it is worth!
