I plasti-dipped mine. It was pretty easy, although I have to touch it up since there was minor peeling.

I originally bought the red slat cover from Outmotoring. The slat is actually clear and is painted red on the inside. Unfortunately, after just a few months, the red started to fade and peel. I tried repainting they inside, but it didn’t look right. In the end, they were very accommodating and agreed to credit my purchase price toward the purchase of a JCW grille, in lieu of a replacement cover.
