Please dont' do that... the car's lines will be ruined :(
I've nose-dived into lots of stuff before... I just keep some silver touchup paint in the glovebox ;)
It's not too hard to take off, just get the front end up on jacks and you'll see all the bolts to remove, remember the 2 plastic clips in the wheel well too.
If you take the front off, lose the rest too... it'll look dumb. Or, get a front piece from the newer style that doestn' go all the way around the nose.
Good luck.1997 silver Camaro RS<br />|T-Type Powered|<br /><a href=\"http://www.kwfbody.com\" target=\"_blank\">Looking for a local F-Body club in K/W, Ontario, Canada?</a>

That should work, just be careful about the depth of the paint... you'll need clear coat for sure.
I've been painting a headlight blackout trying to match the colour up and i'm having trouble getting the tones even. The car silver is a lighter tone than I can get the blackout... granted i haven't clear=coated it yet and that will make a huge difference!
Good luck man.. i've though of doing it myself before but i've chickened out on the body panels. [img]smile.gif[/img]1997 silver Camaro RS<br />|T-Type Powered|<br /><a href=\"http://www.kwfbody.com\" target=\"_blank\">Looking for a local F-Body club in K/W, Ontario, Canada?</a>

I like the look of the 97- without the front fx. Theres a green one around here that probably did the same thing as you and it looks good. Why don't you just take it off and leave it off for a while while you figure out painting it? Then if you like it just leave it off or paint it and put it back on. What color is your car? Maybe you could paint it black to get away from matching colors, just a thought.1998 Red RS 3.8l A4<br />Whisper - K&N - N20 - Magnaflow muffler&Tips - 1LE Panhard - Ghetto STB - 255/50ZR16 Ecsta<br />Stull Billet Grille - Limo tint - blackouts - Black or Red \"camaro\" piece - A-pillar cf a/f ratio - Greddy fuel press<br />Panasonic DF88 - 1 12\" Eclipse 88120.4 - Eclipse 3322 amp<p><a href=\"http://members.cardomain.com/raven_rs\" target=\"_blank\">http://members.cardomain.com/raven_rs</a>
