Default 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!
