Real simple. Lift hood. Look where grill is. Pop tabs. Done.

Default Just depress the tabs from under the hood. It's obvious when you look under there.
The entire grill and surround comes out. Once that's out, you can (if you need) separate the two pieces.

I think if you lightly sand it maybe and use some primer. I haven't seen to many that didn't peel
