Default help asap!

hello everyone i just got my car back from the paint shop with a brand new coat of paint, but i forgot to tell them to not back the front bumper grill and keep it black . anyway they shot the whole bumper with silver and i think it looks tacky and cheap. so my question is how do i get the paint of the grill back to black. bare with my people i'm a noob with paint. any help would be greatly appreciated thank you.

Just take it back. It was black to begin with right? They should have left it black unless you asked them too paint it.
