personally wouldnt do the grille as they always look naff but upto you.

sand down for a few hours with 400 grit then move upto 800 grit. PLASTIC prime, sand primer with 1000 grit. Apply colour, prefereably outside on a warm sunny day, leave to dry then apply a dust coat of laquer then a thicker coat
