Painting mesh in RRM grille

I have a RRM CF grill, and was considering painting the mesh, the car is red, but thinking about painting the mesh flat black so it blends in.

Who has painted the mesh in their RRM grille, what color did you paint it, and do you regret painting the grille?

I have yet to see any other color besides black and silver that looks good on mesh.

Ive been trying to figure out wether i wanna do this or not. (flat black). I would paint the grill mesh and hood mesh black. Do you have any pic of it at an angle farther away so we can get the full effect? It looks good.

No further pics yet, about how far u want the pic from?

Once i did the painting i liked it. was kinda debating on painting it or not but it just makes it look so much better than unpaited.

Something at this angle but a tad farther back. So, you think I should paint my grill mesh and hood mesh black? Your input and pic (since its same color) just about makes my decision.
