Not too hard. Just reach back behind the grill and take off the 2 nuts (10mm). Then tape off the "chrome" lip with painters tape (assuming you want to keep it chrome) and paint. I had never painted anything before and it came out great. I actually used a How-to from here

I just put newspaper around it, and taped off the chrome, and sprayed it flat black.
