Default Grille painting..

Looking for something quick to do today so I thiught I'd paint my grille. What color should I go with? A light silver or chrome maybe? Brands? I'm guessing duplicolor.. And what preparations are involved besides soaking in a tub?
Details are appreciated. Thanks guys.

I am seriously considering painting my grille with the chrome and wondered if you had a front on picture of yours.

Silver is good to go with... I think it was actually a "chrome" spray paint.
