Prime, then paint. Not an elaborate job. I would use flat black paint.

Yes just use spray paint. For best results I would strip the existing paint, the prime, and repaint.

After repainting several times I got sick of it. I then bought some paint stripper in a can at Home Depot. I used it to completely stip the paint on all grills. Then I put clear coat on them to prevent rusting. I have not had any issues since and the car looks amazing. It even matches my silver paint job better.
