I just set the grill in there first to figure out how much needed to be painted. Then I just masked it off really good and used a bunch of newspaper out on the bumper. Came out good and no overspray.

I probably scuffed it up a little before painting, but it's been a while so I can't remember what grit I used. Nor do I remember if I primered it first.
