Painting Altezza Grill

hey wassup, i couldn't find jack about painting the altezza grill to match up the color to my car. Most of the peeps on this site had their grill painted in shop for about 40 to 100 bucks. Does ne one know ne good shops in chicago that would match up perfectly the grill to the car? I was thinking of asking the honda dealer where they have their body paint done..i think its somewhere in bensenville called B.P.J. or something for schaumburg honda (im not sure). Does ne one know where to get the cheapest deal? if not ill prolly just look up the color code and paint it myself , i hope i don't screw up ....

~peace

i painted mine all black by myself and it looks great. i just put a few coats of primer, then a few coats of high gloss black paint, then a few coats of clear coat. cost me about $10 to do and looks great!
