I want to save money to buy the S3 intercooler for my A3, and thought painting my grille and trim instead of buying ones already blacked out would save me 400-500 bucks.

I've been envying Achtunings A3 to S3 mods for some time, and they too painted their trim and grille to save money. Question is, what correct steps were taken to make sure the grille and trim are painted to near perfection.

Here's a quick link to the actual process they did...

Any help would be greatly appreciated... My grille is fugly and needs to look evil!!
