Yellow Lancer/CF Hood with painted mesh

I have VIS Racing EVO 7 CF Hood, and I'm thinking of painting the mesh inserts on the top of my hood yellow to match my car and leave my grill mesh black. Has anyone done this and have pics they can post ? I need to repaint the mesh anyway so I might go ahead and paint them yellow and if it doesn't look good I'll just go back over it with black again.

As for price I paid about $480.00 shipped ( I think ) I had it about 3 months. As for the grill if you buy the VIS Racing hood it comes with a CF grill. Fitment is ok not great but ok, width wise it's about 1/8" shorter you have to play around with it to line up. But I did the install by myself. You are going to pay about $150.00 for shipping.
The only other problem is keeping the finger prints off of it, everybody and there mama wants to touch it.
