I want to paint my grill...suggestions and pics please.

I have an 05 SE and am thinking of painting the grill either a flat or satin black. I have heard it is as easy as buying Krylon Fusion spray paint at Wally World, not sanding it, and not even putting a clearcoat on it. This sounds too good to be true. My questions...

1. Do I need to sand it
2. Clearcoat? and if not will rocks chip it?
3. Will this look like crap when completed?

Please show me your pics and let me know how you did it. Thanks.

I see you don't trust me. First off, it's not going to look like a **** job if you do it right. Second, if you're going for a flat or satin black, clear coating it would make it shiny =/. Finally, you're always going to get rock chips regardless and obviously it's not going to be durable and last as long, this is just a cheap alternative if you don't want to spend a lot of money for satin black paint. My grille has lasted for many months and is still going strong.
