I just can-chromed my homemade shelving grill. Should be ready tomorrow. If it looks bad i will definitely black it out! Looks great. Have you considered adding a mesh behind it to accent the blacked out look?
looks great! get some of these and it'll look even better http://www.trophymustang.com/1970-mach-grill-sport-lamp-lens-p-3617.html
