Painted my grill insert (2nd Gen)
I painted in about two hours. It was not the best paint job I have ever done, but looks good. I think if need I will repaint to get it really good.
what color did you use? did you do any prep work to it before spraying it?

The color was 4F - Sand Mice. I had a local NAPA store make it up for me. I also bought a special primer that applies to plastics, and the paint was for plastic as well. You have to let them know before they make it. Then I took very fine sand paper, and sand it down just a little, applied sever coats of primer, and then several coats of paint. Both primer and paint dried very fast, so it took me about two hours to do everything.
