Default Painting front bumper grills black, how to do this?

Can somebody give me step by step instructions on how to do this? The previous owner painted the grills to match the car, which i think looks like crap. Please help me! Please give me specific names of the materials I will need.

I want the stock black that the bumper grills come in.

Buy wax remover from any automotive store. It comes in a little tin container and it is located in the wax/car soap section. wipe down the area you want to paint.

Get blue 3M painters tape. It is less adhesive, easier to pull off. Mask the area well. Make sure the edges are stuck on there good so you get a solid mask. Use big garbage bags to mask the rest of the front end.

Paint the area with black 'trim paint'. Pull masking off in 2 hours.

Enjoy your non macco looking front bumper.
