Headlight reflection from grill guard RTV1100cw

Driving around this evening I realized that I have a lot of light reflecting back to me from the silver grill guard. Has anyone been bothered by this? I don't have the roof lights hooked up yet. With the light reflecting back it distracts from seeing for me. I was thinking of painting the back side of the guard flat black to see if it helps. Has anyone done anything to theirs?

You might try black duct tape or black electrical tape to see if it works before you paint it. The tape would be removable easier than paint.

That's what I was thinking as well but I'd go with 2" gaffer tape since it will pull off without damage or residue.

I painted the guard matt black and it makes a difference for me. Took a set of photos before and after. The headlights are dimmer because the engine was off in the first photo and on in the second.
