people only match paint the surrounding, and
some people paint the middle BLACK.
but since you have the grey color, just paint the surrounding.

Kind of stupid question, but where do you get the OEM paint? Any paintshop will have it or I gotta go dealership?

i just used spray paint from autozone. I think most people here used another kind of paint because the only OEM paint u can get is the touch up paint from the dealership but you wont have enough paint on that to do a grill, i dont even think 30 would be sufficient, and its like 10 bucks for a small bottle.
