Red grill surounds

I've got a 67 B'cuda. I've always felt that the factory painting inside of grille surrounds the generic argent gray was a copout/shortcut. I've told myself if I ever pull those grilles again for any reason, I will paint the surrounds body color (which is red).
I did rub away the argent and polish out the aluminum. When one walks up to the car and looks closely, they can see the grille surround wasn't completed at the top via reflection. So if I did apply a gloss body paint there, I would need to complete the surround tops first.
