That's the most cost effective way, but if you don't feel like painting them yourself, give Joe/Nerwyll a shout at Trinity Autosport. They have some great looking black matte grills that fit great for a fare price.

I have to agree with you, I painted my grilles a few times and it never came out quite right. Eventually I broke down and just got a set of matte grilles from Nerweezy (Trinity Autosport) and I have been much happier since, no more stripping the old paint, re-sanding, and repainting.

I dont think the $70-80 ive seen them for is worth it. I had a small chip on mine. I got a piece of paper, and cut a small hole around it. Cleaned the grills from dust and sprayed that small area through the hole in the paper. It looked different at first but after it dried out about a day or so in the sun. It blended right in.
Besides. Its not much work to get the grill out. Gives you some quality time with your car anyway
