Great Idea!! Looks WAAAY better.
I too have hated the look of the plastic louvers since day one.
I was considering the chrome ones but even though I like chrome, the chrome louvers were just a LITTLE TOO MUCH BLING for my taste.
When you painted them, did you scuff the plastic louvers up at all to help adhesion? Did you prime them?
Looks great though. Keep us posted on the longevity.
