For doing it yourself, It looks great.
As for the primered bumper, the grey had a good look to it while on the car.

I finally got a small update for this thread
i got a replacment grill at ONBF (thanks MikeG) and painted it this morning and installed it after work
Old grill
New grill before Paint
you can see why it needed a repaint, it was painted once before but there was lots off dry spray and it wasnt sanded that well so there was peeling
New grill Preped for paint
No after paint-before install pics, so il jump right to the final product
you can see how sandblasted the hood is in comparison
^ already a little dusty in that pic

This is the first time I've stumbled onto this thread, and I must say, the new paint job looks incredible, man! I can't find any overspray in any of the pics (could be resolution), and the color matches very nicely. Kudos, man!
