Default Painting parts body color as opposed to blacked out

I’ve seen how the blacked-out look has become popular, but I really want to go the other way, & have a near monochrome, solid red Z. I’d like to have all the silver trim & “Z” on the side marker light body color also, along with the door handles. First, what is the front grill between the fangs made of, & can it be painted to match the rest of the car? Would it be better to take it off the car & take it to a good paint shop? Thinking along those lines, would it be btter to take the door handles & side marker lights off at the same time?

Any thoughts, comments, pics would be appreciated.

if your going to color match then yes take off the door handles and side markers...

the black plastic between the fangs is not a smooth texture like the rest of the bumper...so if your going to paint it to match then i would suggest removing the bumper so the painter will have better access for sanding and prep for painting...

i have a few pics in my album listed in my sig...
