Blacking out grill

I'm considering blacking out my chrome grill on my TL Type-S and i've looked through the DIYs, but I couldn't really find any ways to do it myself, or if it would be better if i let some shop do it for me. If i could get any suggestions or places in the NOVA area that do this stuff

It depends what you mean when you say blacking out your grille? Do you want to paint the whole grille itself or just replace it with black mesh or somehthing?

A local guy in NOVA, monkeysasquach, has his grill painted. Ask him. He has a NBP Type S with red bottom grill.

He is my friend here. Check it out and talk to him.

It is around $70 to paint it according to they guy that details car at Radley Acura. I think that is high.
