the grille was painted with Plastidip, its paint, but turns into kind of a rubberish stuff, but to the hand it feels like regular paint, so when rock and whatnot hit it they just bounce off, no chips, i painted that before winter, and lasted trough Chicago winter till now without any chips.
and side markers were painted black to match the color of the car. you can get a can of spar from paintscratch.com or other places that s4ell color matched spayrcans.
BTW, looks great in the sun
