what to do with my billet grill

i have a billet grill... its silver on the very front and black on the top and bottom of each "line"

anyway, not sure if its pretty common or not, but its been like this since I bought the truck (used)

there are parts of the black thats chipping away... guess from rocks or whatever... i can see where the previous owner has touched it up with some sort of black paint or something... from a few feet back its really not even noticable... but upclose, the silver shows through and not that pretty....

just curious what I should do... is there a way to take it all out and paint the whole thing? or maybe get it powder coated? any ideas or even better... PICS?

I would have it powder coated rather than painted if you want to color the whole grill as it will be much more durable.
