I would of thought if that if the grill was plastic then the paint would have to have some sort of flex agent, other wise the paint would just flake and peel.

Take it to a body shop. Colour match is no issue, just give them the paint code from the plaque under the bonnet.

I had mine done for about £70 and its looks great and no adhesion problems.
