How to paint the bowtie?
 
First off, does anyone know how to get the bowtie off without goofing it up? - I haven't tried yet

Second, how do you paint it? Or will I have to special order one?

not to post on all your threads or anything....but i wouldn't bother taking it off to paint it, i would take the grill off and tape off the areas around the bowtie, rough it up a little bit so that the paint will stick and paint away!

get some sand paper and rough up the surface, the more even the better but dont over do it

Okay, and what kind of paint would work best?

just some kind of plastic paint at your local auto parts store, its not a very large area that your painting so its not extremely important
