hmm it's hard to tell of the differences between no paint and paint with smg.

Do you have a before pic to compare?

man i'm not feeling that edited grill

but I am feeling the painted chrome bit on the starfire pearl.

I've got a black sapphire pearl and I think the color coded chrome would make it look less luxurious.

same goes for all dark cars
