painted grill?

i was wondering if anyone has successfully painted their chome grill to match the color of their car? if so what paint was used etc. also does anyone know a color match to the sage mist green, would the nissan dealer have it?
If anyone has a sage mist green grill in mass that would be willing to sell or trade for some $$ and my grill pm me.

1) just go to a junkyarkd and try to find a killed max with the grill colour u want and replaceit

2) go to dealer and order the grill u want with the colour u want

3) look up your paint code and check the FAQ's i think its the 3rd or 4th thread that gives a link to a great paint site that can help

www.paintscratch.com is a great site for the paint. Just look for your color code (I believe Sagemist is FS0). You can get it in a spray can for about $25.

painting your grille is one of the fastest and cheapest ways to change the look of your max. Sand very well with fine sandpaper and water, clean and dry, mask off, clean with pre-paint cleaner and paint. light to medium coats. clear coat it. And you're good to go.
