good thinkin' on the don't armor-all plastic grill if planning to paint.
I suggest paint specifically for painting plastic ..called Fusion ..in a
spray can, in various colors, at hardware stores ..
it stays on there quite well.

I really think painting over the silver trim paint on front upper grill is a big improvement, as well as yanking off and discarding the faded & yellowed window trim in the rubber.
