I really liked the black ones when I first bought it. After looking at a new 4.8 at the dealer with both grill and vents "titaniumed" it grew on me. I still like black on black though.

I have done similar operation with my first E53 (I do not know technological tricks, it was made by painting specialist), see picture. First time it was O.K., I sold this car after some 6 months. I saw this car couple months ago, looks terrible! Painting on vent rest black holes, resistance of painting on the plastic like this is not so good. I hope in your case it will be O.K. (or you will sell this car before). Better is replace with genuine parts from BMW (as I have done to my second E53 (nachtblau, individual).
