Take them off for sure. Wouldn't want to mess up the edges... plus I KNOW your aren't trying to do this without prepping it, which is near impossible if installed.

I would say wet sand it with a 2000 grit, get some sprayon primer from autozone, then hit it up with the black a few times.

Looks good! I believe you'd want an etching primer if I'm not mistaken since it's bare metal. Supposedly it helps the paint to stick, or some nonsense like that

I took a stab at turning the grill black. Should look pretty good when done.
