If you want to paint it, you have to disassemble it.   You can do plastidip without taking it apart, but Plastidip will never come close to the same look. 

I've since sold this Edge, but the painted grille held up well.  I had a bit of lifting on the bottom lip, but that was my fault for not scuffing the chrome better in that area and getting more paint on it.  I thought that edge would be covered when it went back on, but it wasn't.  You can see it's still shiny in this pic on the left side down low.      

Thanks. Yes, it's the sport trim. These are hard to find in the older 09-10 models. I haven't seen one on the streets yet since we bought ours.
