painted grill pictures?

[stumpbuster]

was thinkin of gettin all the "chrome" off my truck and make it black.
truck is olive drab now, and was thinkin it would be a cool contrast with the black ilo chrome.

but b4 i started and to hopefully avoid regreting it, i would like to see if anyone has gone ahead and painted their grills

any color/any styles would be cool
thanx

Oops, sorry stumpbuster, if you email me your email, I can send you a pic? I don't know how to post pics any other way. I don't have photobucket.
