Default RS owners. Anyone paint front mesh black?

Been googling and searching for a couple days now but i havent seen anyone do this. Sometimes the front mesh in the front bumper is an eye sore for me and sometimes it blends.. wondering if anyone has done something about it?

I spray Krylon BBQ and Hot Stove flat black high temp. resistant paint onto a small hobby paint brush and touch up the spots where the aluminum mesh is exposed. Not an exact match, but it works and does not risk blocking the radiators with direct spray

The mesh pieces are replaceable. Wait till they get sandblasted enough then swap maybe every 2 years as needed. Newer coating is much weaker than on 997. I consider them wear item like lips. Touch up in between.
