i am good at it but i recommend u do it urself bro its pretty easy.
u need 3 things
adhesion promoter
paint
and clear coat
wash the grill in hot water to take off any dirt etc.
then apply the promoter and let it dry
then apply like 3 or 4 layers of paint allowin atleast 30 mins of dryin time
then apply the clearcoat about 4 or 5 layers allowin time inbetween aswell and then wet sand it wit super fine grit paper like 600 or 1000 and then wash it off and it would look MINT

so about 30 mins of drying time between each coat of paint or total?
30 mins in between clear coat applications?

Where and how much paint do I need to get?

30 mins in between each coat for both paint and for clear.
as for how much u need u need 1 can of paint and 1 can of clear.
since the grill is such a small piece you dont need much but be shure most likely ur can will be empty when ur done

Is there a place where I can get (vogue silver metallic) in a spray can ? I heard Sherwin Williams but I've never seen the place, also where is sherwin williams located b/c I doubt CT has the exact color match?
