Painting Rad support

This radiator support looks like ***. What all do I need to do to get it and the washer resevoir out? What's a good paint to use on it? Thanks.

OK, I guess I need clarification. What part? The black plastic thing the doubles as the lower air box and radiator support? Or is the the massive metal part or "core support" the hold the fornt of the car together. Or are you talkng about the fugly gret fiberglass nose support . . . ?

The nose support is easy. Four 10 mm nuts holding it to the core support and the five plastic pop rivit type fasteners. Gently side it forward/down and then twist up and out.
