    Is this the only solution without removing the bumper then?

    No. The grill pops out (toward the engine) and can be manipulated out of the bumper without removing the bumper. I have done it twice. Its easier on a hot day though when the plastic is more malleable.

    My approach was to use painter's tape to prevent overspray, stick a piece of cardboard up behind it, and hit it with Krylon's new 'Flat Black' Indoor/Outdoor any-surface spray paint.

    Looks good. That's how I did mine as well. Turned out alright. I'm thinking of re-spraying it with gloss-black though to match the rest of the car.
