Should u try to paint this.????

Hi
I removed my grill to paint it black but it was painted before i guess.
The chrome is seen under.
What should i do????

Side grills are easier.

I’d sand it down and repaint it, or give it to a body shop to do if you want a perfect finish. 2004 Autobiography TD6 Java Black

They’re just steel mounting brackets that can be removed (two bolts) & replaced cheaply

Those rusty brackets are safe now luckily no rust passed to car due to paint of brackets.
But paint was already in flakes and it protected because it was squeezed btw car and bracket.
Otherwise it would fall already. 2010 3.6tdv8 180k km.
