That grille mesh looks VERY fine - paint might just close up the last of your remaining airholes....

I agree a unpainted grill looks incomplete and unattended, is distracting to the desgin of the bumper. Wheneve I see an unpainted mesh I end up looking at it instead of the bumper.
Powdercoat it, or get a powdercoated universal mesh, here is a great site, http://www.customcargrills.com/products.asp?id=1 The diamond XXL grill mesh is what I am putting in my Se03c its great....
