JDM Grill

I bought a Carbon Fiber grill a few months back and installed it on my Accord, but now I'd like to paint it to match the color of the car. Is this something I can do myself, or do you recommend taking it to a shop? I've found a website that offers "touch-up" paint in an aerosol can and I'd think this would be better than brushing it on, but I'm not even sure if it would look right.

Has anyone painted their custom grill themselves before? And if so, any tips / suggestions?

Yea you CAN paint it yourself but for something as small as a grill if you have no experience I'd just take it to a shop and let htem do it

Any idea on about how much that would cost?

$25-$30 at a shop.

If a shop can match the paint to my car exactly than I'd have no problem with $25-30. The problem with just going and buying spray paint is my car is painted Bordeux Red pearl, and I imagine that's not the easiest kind of spray paint to find.
