Question about painting my front grill piece

i have a tan/gold colored GXE, those of u who have a GXE know that the door handles as well as the front grill piece are chrome, i wanted to paint it body color and was wondering if that would cost me alot, like what should i do and where should i go? or is there like a easy way to paint the front grill peice body color, i was wondering if the same paint that people use to color their headlight eyebrows would work on the grill

Here are some pics of the 97 grille painted body color. I had a body shop do it for 100 bux.

nice! Iilac...never noticed the change in grille till u pointed it out
Do you have to have that 97-99 grille to change to 97-99 headlights, or is it possible to keep the 95-96 grille?

Wow...$100. You need to find a cheaper body shop.

I have the 95-96 headlights so the 97+ grille worked fine for me. I can't see why you won't be able to keep the 95-96 grille if you went for the 97 headlights.

Yeah, it was a expensive shop and I had no connections either. However, I am very pleased on the work they did and don't mind paying for the better job that they did. I have seen some paint jobs on body kits where the the quality was really skimping. In this case, you really pay for you get for. However when I get a body kit, I definately shop around a little bit more to get a cheaper price.
