Overspray on I/C from painting grille
I want to tape up the center lower grille and spray it black. I want to tape it up REALLY well and spray from a distance to get as less of paint as i can on the intercooler. What if I do get some on the intercooler? Is that going to raise an issue in performance?

Don't cut corners. You will just regret it.

Its ridiculously easy to remove the grilles, if you want we can meet up some time if you dont feel comfortable removing them yourself. I live like 35 min from you.

Yes, you need to take off the bumper. It's not a difficult task.

Put some balloons in there. A few of them. Slide in the grille then blow them up as tie them. Tape off the bumper and spray light coats. It'll be easy and no overspray! lol
