No. Take the whole bumper off. Take off the glue and remove the grill. Take some paint thinner in a tray or parts cleaner and with a brush clean it back to the shine. Then wait for that to dry and put a clear coat on it for protection. That is the easiest and most professional looking way.

EDIT: When I hear grill I think about mesh or metal grill. If it is plastic you should do what said above but remove it first instead of masking.

Re: front grill painted...looks like sh*t! (crxforum)
the right way is to buy a new bumper.
easy way out is mask the bumper leave grill exposed. use a cleaner solution that removes oils, should be at the paint section at kragen...
paint with bumper trim paint.

Sorry, I'm a lazy ***.
Either way will work, one is more professional. Do what you want!
