I read on Jim Carter's site that the back bars are Waldorf white, the 3 upright supports are black and the side pieces which meet the fenders are body color. I don't know if this info is the gospel, but if it is, it would necessitate disassembling the grille to do the painting "correct".
As far as anyone saying something about your truck, don't sweat it. When someone respectfully asks me about something not quite right about mine (and there are many opportunities for that), I am impressed that he is informed enough about these trucks to notice, and I let him know it.
Now if a dill weed shows up, why, that's a whole 'nother story.
