Don't paint. Also, don't piant.
The contrast is nice.

don't paint it. I had my first white turbo with painted grills, then bought one without the painted grills. I like the 2nd one much better.

Keep it black as you might not know how stones will make the grill's paint chip.

I think the grill on silver looks OK painted( any other color looks bad) but I would leave it black.. I think it still look s better black and like MeanM said it will show the rock ships...

I think the silver painted looks good, the white is pretty intense.
