Default Anyone paint match their grilles to their truck?

Thinking of painting my F150 to match my truck, but I'm not sure if it'll look good. Wondering if anyone else has done this besides the white and black F150's I've seen? Here's a picture of mine. Ideas on how it would look blue or maybe another color?

Yes many people paint them. If you look at FX and Platinum models you will see they come painted from the factory. Many XLT ownerspaint their chrome surrounds and it looks good IMO.

I do. I like your grill with the bars. I think it would look good painted to match with the grid left chrome.

I would suggest you plasti-dip spray it first to get an idea and although you probably cannot match the color EXACT, they offer a blue that may be close enough to give you a visual before permanently painting your chrome...if you do not like it, you just peel it away...
