I think he has matt black.

What colour is your trim around your windows? It'll either be chrome or gloss. You can try matching that gloss?

I had a matt black grill on mine but switched to gloss! I feel the gloss would match a lot more than matt e.g. window trim, gloss black emblem etc!

What sort of prep so you need to do to the chrome in order to spray it black?

The only advice I can give you on removing the grills is remove the 4 torx screws along the top where the grills are and reach down and unclip the clips that hold the grill to the bumper... I did it like this and never broke any clips... Hope this helps...
