Ralliart Grill question!

I just bought a used grey ralliart grill thinking that i will just have it painted black to match the car since i felt i got a decent deal on it.. Now i seem to be seeing everything buying the grill that matches the car... Is that simply because its convient or will changing the colors w/ automotive paint not create the same effect present on the grill?? if that makes any sense..

damn pete, you did get lucky. I want to get a ralliart grille, but I can't find one anywhere, maybe I'll just go with the RRM cf evo grille.
