billet grill chipping

My billet grill is from 2002, but is chipping, I am wondering if this is something that can be stopped, or have the black reapplied, or if I just have to get me anotehr one. Thanks

So all I have to do is repaint it? If it's that simple, can any place do that? and how easy is it, because wouldnt you have to take all that off and then apply a really freakin small brush, if it is a paint?

It is aluminum....should be sanded or stripped....the black i mean...then cleaned/degreased.

I got my local ford dealer body shop to spray it....Just gotta tape off the front.

I initally did it by hand spray bombs...works okay
