Grill color change... chrome bubbles???

[PaHumBug]

I know some have line-x'd, some have painted their grills. Just curious as to how those are satisfied with their choice. Is the paint chipping? Line-X fading? Any problems with either? Going to be doing mine soon and want some feed back. Also, has anyone painted a grill that had the "chrome bubbles" in it? How do I handle that? I'd rather not take it down to bare plastic, is that my only choice?

I attached a pic of my grill to show the bubbles, it's rather hard to see though.
