would it be wise to paint my grill insert?

My Z28 is black with silver ground effects, i was wondering if first of all it would be wise to paint the grill insert silver, 2 what do i do to prep if i do decide to paint it? 3 would it look good?

I've seen other Camaros like that, and it didn't look all that bad. However, I think that the contrast that the black grill adds would look better in my opinion.

I sanded my bowtie off my stock grill and painted it to match my car. Looks better I think! I also added a NOS sticker to liven it up some. I have it sanded agian, due to new paint being shot this Thursday! Pics in my sig.
