Quicky step-by-step instructions:
Tools:
Beer, 10mm socket, philips head screwdriver, black paint, clearcoat paint.
Step 1:
Locate the 3 screws holding the plastic shroud over the radiator. They're plastic screws with plastic I dunno what they're called around them. The screws come out pretty easy, and then pop the shroud up. The little plastic (retainers?) will pop out. Put that somewhere, and don't lose anything.
Step 2: There are 2 10mm bolts holding the whole grill on. Remove both of those. Now ease the grill forward. There are two clips holding the bottom of the grill, below the hood latch. I couldn't find them easily, but I pulled the grill forward and they popped out.
Step 3: You can either mask the middle portion of the grill off, or what I did was cut out the little retainers that seem to hold the clips of the middle part of the grill onto the chrome outer grill. They're just plastic nubs that press against the clips. Just use a utility knife and cut them off, they're useless.
Step 4: I buffed the chrome up a bit with some 400 grit sandpaper to give the paint something to stick to.
Step 4.2: Wash it!. I used dishsoap and a sponge to get the grit, dirt, grease, fingerprints and stuff off.. then rinsed it in the shower. then dry it off nicely and let it hang out a bit to dry completely.
Step 4.7432: Prime it!
Step 5: Paint! I used about 5 thin coats of spray paint, allowing about 10 minutes per coat to dry.
Step 6: Paint some more! Again, about 5 thin coats of clearcoat.
Then I let it dry for a good couple of hours (probably more than necessary).. pop the center back in, and reinstall.
Didn't take a picture of the backside of the grill, but you'll see where the clips are (they're chrome and maybe 10 total) and the little plastic bits in the holes. It still fits in pretty tight without those annoying plastic bits.
