I'm thinking of painting the grill on my 02 xterra. Mine has faded bad. Has anyone got any advice. Thanks

I'm not much of a painter, but I think you can get self-etching primer that might hold better to the plastic before you paint. Most of the one's I've seen people do, chip later on because they're sloppy.

Not sure if you're trying to match the original color or not, but I painted mine black. Scuffed the original paint w/ 220-grit, then sprayed it with a couple of coats of Dupli-Color "Trim Paint" and it has held up just dandy for a few years now.
