Default Dark blue metalic bow tie?

I was just curious if anyone has done this. I like the way black trucks look with a billet grille and a black bow tie, but im was thinking about painting my bow tie dbm with a chrome speed grille. Has anyone done this or have any pics of it?

A bunch of guys have color matched their bowties, looks really good IMO. Here's what I found in a quick search:

(I know that Kevin's truck isn't DBM, but hopefully the Arrival Blue helps...)

I should be picking up my factory bowtie from being painted tomorrow. I thought I would have it done so I could change between it and the billet.
