With the rest of the chrome gone I think the painted grille goes well.

It really depends on the direction you're going with the truck. My 69 is keeping the aged aluminum grill, mostly because that matches the truck. It's also getting the narrow beltline trim, and re-polished badges, and getting painted a two tone boxwood and mint green.
My 72 F100 4x4 is going to be Nissan XTerra Burnt Orange, and it's grill, inserts, and badges will be powdercoated gloss black to offset that color. The frame and suspension will be gray, the wheels and flatbed will also be gloss black.
