has anyone matched the center of the grille (like above) and then did the ring or outside edges in the matching color? You could paint the inner fins black and it would look similar to the Tiida.

I found a Dupli Color can that seemed pretty close, and it is pretty close. It's a GM color though, and it did pretty good because my tow hook cover was flat black and it looks pretty close to OEM.

Thanks guys, here's a "before" shot...

Can also use the paint code from door jamb sticker. Says Color.
Mine is K36.
My sentra was K3, a slightly purplish blue.
In the old days, used to go to Canadian Tire and match them right off the shelf.
Should be able to do the same...somewhere
