Grille restoration opinions wanted!

I have some cool plans for this grille. It's already half restored, with the headlight bezels done in some fresh Rustoleum plastic spray called titanium silver. I'm hoping to get some feedback from everyone about a particular idea I've been toying with. Originally I was going to spray the entire grille the same silver (with something special done to the GMC portion), but now I'm thinking of doing the inner sections flat black and the rest silver. What do you think? And if I go with the flat black, which should I spray first for the best results?

I have the twin to your truck
and used a very light gold toned color to spray my stock
rally wheels and they really looked sharp against the tan and
brown. I wil ltry to get some pics posted . I think it would work
very well on the grill too
just a thought

I used the rust-oleum you mentioned on an 86 I sold last summer. I did the whole grille with the silver, and thought it looked good.
