Paint for a Type R Grill

Does anyone know of a good inexpensive place where I could get my Type R front grill painted?

How difficult is it to do yourself? I'm doing the front lip myself but I heard the grill was harder? Any tips or suggestions? Where is a good place to get the paint? My car is black.

Um...if you can get the NBP paint its wont be that hard. It depends on how much time you wanna put into it on how well it will look. The best way with best results is to sand the grille down to make it smooth. The a couple layers of primer. Sand it down again. Primer it. 2 coats of NBP paint. Then depending upon how well it took, you can either sand down to get rid of air bubbles, or if its good, let it dry. Then come back to it and shoot 3 layers of clear coat on it.
