This works with at least 87-91. Removal should be similar on others.

Remove the plastic screws. Then push down the tabs on the bottom of the grill.

Use a metric 10mm wrench and remove the nuts on the emblem.

Lightly sand the grill with some medium grit sandpaper. Lightly paint it with a few coats of paint until it's thick enough.

Another thing I have done and works quite well is to use a 3-m grey scratch pad and a product called final sand. Some of the old timers used Comet toilet bowl cleaner. This process makes it so you can get into every nook and cranny, Don't take any short cuts in the prep department when you paint your grill and the finish should last a long time.
If anyone has any other paint/bodywork questions just e-mail me and I will help as much as I can!

I used Duplicorlor wheel paint in graphite. For colors they have:

WP100 White
WP101 Silver
WP102 Graphite
WP103 Clear
WP104 Bronze
WP105 Racing Satin Black

I painted my entire dash in my Cougar with the same stuff, just a different color: http://www.duplicolo..._allsilver.html
