Chrome grille surround ?

I have the honeycomb insert with a chrome surround. I would like to change the surround to black or the body color. What are my options? Do I use a rattle can and paint it black or could I find one with the oem body color? Thanks guys.

any body shop can paint it to match your truck for some money

I'm pretty sure you can't paint chrome and expect the paint to stay on.

I got the chrome one w/ my truck and changed it out. Went and got one from Ford and it was $200 or $250 for the grill and surround and $100 for paint at the dealership's body shop. The paint came w/ a guarantee and looks like it came from the factory, but in hind sight I should have come on here and seen if anyone wanted to trade.....and there's always craigslist.
