Well start by taking off the front bumper. You will find a series of screws on the back. Take those out to take the grill off the bumer. then remove the emblem from the grill. Buy your paint and paint it. Put the emblem back on, put the grill on the bumper, and put the bumper back on. Once you have the bumper off, you'll just need a philips screw driver and thats about it.

I did most of the work myself but had the colormatching done by a pro painter.
