Lots of people have painted their grills (SEs and SSEi style grills) and had great success, with krylon fusion paint i believe. The GXP should work the same.

Here is a thread i found with a quick search:

Good luck finding any aftermarket Bonneville parts.. they just aren't out there.

I think a custom chrome plated grill would look awesome if you could find a company to do it. Otherwise, painting is your only option.
