Thinking of getting bumpers painted to match the silver stripe on sides and the grill to match the grey maybe even getting the bars in the grill silver

I'm with you, paint to match the bumpers ingot silver, and the grill surround sterling gray. Only suggestion I would make is leave the grill bars chrome.

I find the chrome stands up MUCH better to scratches and blemishes then a painted surface. Kind of a downgrade to get painted bumpers, seems to be a trend to paint/black everything out.

Very true. It's kinda like form over function. I already have a couple little boo-boos on my Plat front bumper. But I still like the looks so I gotta deal with the downside.
