lol @ the fail pic.
Sand it down with sand paper, I forget what grit rating but you need to have patience and dedicate an afternoon to doing this. Use automotive spray paint if you want to DIY. The surface is not going to come out with a really good shine or be very smooth though, if you DIY. Since you want glossy black, not flat, I'd recommend getting it sprayed at a shop so the surface can be really smooth to bring out the shine.

Because I have done it myself and then had it done by a shop a few months later.
The difference lies in the paint and even spray. Spray can won't be as consistent as a spray gun. Shop will most likely shoot the part at a clean booth too to minimize contaminants from landing on your grill while it's being sprayed. But the biggest thing is that shop paint is a lot higher in quality than the automotive spray cans.
Most of us that DIY do it in flat black, so spray can is fine. But if you want glossy so it looks like OB, I'd get it done at a shop.
