Default Painted Headlight Surround?

The front bumper of my 97 Z28 is in need of a respray, i've only seen one pic of someone doing it, but is there any other people who have painted the black headlight surround on the front bumper? My car is silver, and im wonderin how it would look.

This is a white car, but it gives you an idea. Not my cup of tea, but it's your car.

I think it looks better with the painted headlight.

You can get away with not painting the foglight area but def paint around the headlights.

I completely read over the "z28" lmao.

Completely different animal. I think the camaro's can look good with it depending on the color.
