Can the grill be painted? For some reason body shops by me are scared they will chip

 

Yup it can be painted and it can chip if not done right.... Search for nexons step by step grille painting process in the 4th gen TL area. Ask your painter to follow it and you should have no problem. Im getting mine redone due to the chips. Having the grille body painted makes a huge difference. Search the forum for pics on painted grilles

 

I have mine painted too, my guy used a hardener in the paint and in the clearcoat to prevent it from rock chips

Get pitch black behr paint form homedeport , add some windex to it , mix it and then let it shine let it shine.
