Does your grill have cracks or missing trim tabs? These grills are easily repaired if you have the correct materials. The texured argent paint is very forgiving to spray and can be done with a low buck primer spray gun with at least a 1.8 tip.. the cracks and missing tabs can be fixed with a flexible bumper adhesive; I like, Lord Fusor products such as :
www.autobodytoolmart.com/lord-fusor-extreme-bumper-repair-adhesive-medium-p-15955.aspx Sand the back side of the repair area with 80 grit, clean the area with a wax and grease remover and apply liberally the adhesive, make sure it gets into the crack. This stuff adheres very well, dries in about a minute so only mix what you can use. It is very tough, but not brittle, and can be sanded if needed. If you pay attention to detail, your grill will be awesome. My grill had several cracks and the inserts were missing some tabs. I painted the black plastic with Hot Rod Flatz urethane, also very forgiving paint to spray.
If you are not the dyi type of guy you could get the correct paint & materials and take it to any good body shop. I have seen shops use bondo to fix grills and that will not hold, also they may use the color they have available. But if you supply the correct materials it would be hard to screw up.
