Did you paint it on the grill, or pop it off? I want to do the same thing, but I havn't really looked at how hard it is to get off the grill to paint it.
yeah, just get a flathead screwdriver, slide it under, and it pops off...then i sanded it with some fine paper a little, 2 coats of red primer i got from autozone, 3 coats of black rustoleum, and 2 coats of clearcoat
