05-07 grille conversion question

I bought a paintable 05-07 grille from MKM (nice part BTW) and I'm gonna paint to match the truck. I'm wondering if the honeycomb should be painted or just left black...?

Nice...thanks Jim. I went ahead and painted the entire grille last night. My truck is True Blue Metallic and it looks pretty good all blue. I'll be snapping it in this evening along with the 05-07 Harley lights and painted bumper.
