There's duplicolor spray paint, vinyl wrap, carbonfiber vinyl wrap, having it professionally sprayed at a bodyshop, and sewell sells painted grill surrounds. I've tried most methods and found the bodyshop method the best way to go although it is pricey but still cheaper than Sewell.

Plasti dip is great. If you don't like how it looks. You can peel it right off.
