It was not hard at all to paint....clean...sand a little...if rough spots..prime, paint, clear, dry, reinstall

dont paint it with silver exterior...i agree with infinitidrift...silver looks good with the chrome

Did you guys sand or sandblast the grill before it was painted?I have been very happy with mine, even my wife thinks it should have come from the factory painted.
should hold up well as the paint on the front bumber....same abuse from bugs...peebles and my front bumper dont look too bad...i think infiniti used crappy chrome plating or something cause my grill chipped in 3 places. i just wish we had a access to aftermarket grills that fit decent at a decent price. I do like some of those JDM grills...but this is a good enough replacement for now....i

Hey, man I really appreciate you getting back to me. That is what I will do go to the Infiniti body shop and regards to removing the grill as a result of your instructions I sure I can remove it.

Thanks again
