Default plasti-dipped grill

Practicing on the Envoy before playing with the Z. Should I leave the chrome trim at the top, or spray to match ? I'm also contemplating either peeling off the chrome outline around the GMC or just the red GMC, I feel like the way the emblem is designed it doesn't look right all one color.

Before:


After, still with chrome:


With strip sprayed:

Paint the GMC white. Keep the chrome painted for sure.

Leave the chrome strip to give it some contrast or try leaving it all black with the Red GMC to see how that looks.

Thanks all! There's not really any chrome on the rest of the truck and the outline is just enough to pick up on the headlamp housings. On to the next project
