GRILL COLOR ???

my latest camaro is in for paint right now . no color change , ultra blue met. . i have an iroc/z bowtie grill in it as many do . GFX will also be blue . while cleaning/polishing tailights , etc. . the thought came to mind about the grill color . i have seen them painted the same color as the car , but not a contrasting color . my thought is to paint it the same color as my ZQ8 wheels . the color would be a silver/gray metalic . anyone have thoughts on how this might look , or better yet any pics. of contrast grill colors ? thanks .

Post a picture of it and the wheels and see if anyone can Photoshop it. I can try but I'm not the best at it.

Re: GRILL COLOR ???

That would be cool. Maybe paint something else that color to match it up. Like the louvers??

I always thought it would look cool to paint the A pillars and windshield top on Verts and T-top cars a different color like modern cars. (Pontiac Solstice for Example)

Re: GRILL COLOR ???

Although this is not my car here is a pic I have in my Camaro files. It seems close to what you described. The fog lite grills are easy to paint.
