I Painted My OEM Grill Black

Okay, today I got my mesh ready to make an upper grill. I guess I'm just dumb, cuz I couldnt figure out how to fasten it from the bottom. Didn't want all the effort of taking off my front lip and the bumper to go to waste, so a friend gave me the idea of painting the OEM grill. I didn't think it would come out too great, but I thought what the hell. I could get it back to silver with paint thinner anyways. I didn't spray it too well, so theres lil spots on it, but nothing too bad. I wanted the grill to be black to compliment the projector headlights and the black lower grill. It came out ok, not great, not bad. Don't have any pics though. Can you guys picture it? Cuz I need to decide whether or not to put the silver emblem back on or not. Can't decide.

I won't have a pic of it for a long time. I'll take pics after I get my Xenon kit put on. I wouldn't suggest doing it unless you have projector headlights. Once you get those, you must get everything to match like grillls and cf hood. It's a little toooo black compared to the projectors. Not too bad though.
