Default 2006 front grill faded: easy to repaint?

Hi guys,

The paint on my 06 LS grill is fading. Do you guys typically just replace with a new grill or is there spray paint that closely matches the factory finish? Seems removing the grill and painting would be easy assuming there is a close match with Krylon or Rustoleum paints.

Thanks

I put a custom grill on my 2005 LS430 when it had 30,000 miles. I will sell you
my OEM grill for $45.00.
Let me know.

Probably cheaper and easier to jam a replacement grille in there instead. I'm a car painter and I hate painting grilles at the best of times, so damn fiddly and have to scuff all the little bits otherwise it all falls off

lev00221.... where are you in Texas, and what year is your 430? I might come and get that grill.
