Default Painting chrome grille surround trim

I'm wanting to paint the chrome grille surround piece on my truck to be either black or dark grey to match the lower half of my truck's two-tone paint. I'm curious to hear some suggestions on what color would look best?

I think the chrome girllle the way it is now with my billet bar grille is too much chrome for the front of my truck for the look I am going for.

I will be getting new Halo or Harley Davidson F150 headlights to replace the stock ones.

normally i would say paint it to match your truck but im not sure with the two tone. black would leave too many colors up there and would look crazy. if you could, paint the grille to match your hood color, if you want to

I dig the chrome, personally. I dont think you'd be hurting if you left it as is.
