I tried to mimic the OEM Midnight grille on mine with plastidip, as all black on a grey car is a little weird.
The texture is not ideal, but it's removable and only cost me like $5 and 20 minutes. The emblem pops off easily so all you have to do is mask the top and bottom.
If I were to redo it, I'd properly prep and paint it so that it's gloss, but I don't really care enough to.

I removed mine and plasti-dipped it. I like the textured satin finish.
Another option is to get some OEM paint (like Malbec Black) from AutomotiveTouchup.com
They sell OEM paint and pro-level clear coats in spray cans. Top quality products I did my headlight housings with it and they came out great.

With that being said, I removed the grill and cracked my rad cover in the process like many others. I felt it was safer to remove than to risk overspraying into the radiator or anything. Whether it makes a significant difference or not, meh.
