I've had good results with duli-color. It's expensive for a rattle can, but it has turned out great for me when I've used it. Make sure to sand the grille, prime, paint, and clear. You could paint the inserts black and do the grille the same color as your truck

What color are you thinking? Gloss or flat?

LMC Truck has a lot of variety. I don't know about cheap though. Depends on what you consider cheap.
