Painting grill
 
I am wanting to paint my black cts's grille black. Anyone have any clue how to do this by myself and if it'll work and withstand the road?

Yeah, it shouldn't be a problem, but you might want to be sure you want to do it because the chrome should be sanded with fine sandpaper first, like 600 grit or so. Are you going to use a spray can of GM black and then clear coat or have it professionally done?
