yep i just painted mine along with my mirrors.......i used bumper and trim paint and they look awesome......like he said above,there are 6(i think)bolts under the hood remove those,then pull off the rubber strip and the 2 pieces will seperate and come right off....oh yeah remove your wiper arms first....once you pull the peice up(its just snapped on with clips just pull it up)you'll have to pop out the washer nozzles as well..
