Front grille

Hi, would anyone know how to dismantle the front grill? which is silver and has the star in the center. I want to take it to paint because it has some marks, but I do not know how I can take it apart to take it to the painter.

My understanding is that there are 4 (?) fasteners at the top of the grille and the bottom of the grille has brackets that are held via friction, a push rearward loosens it. YMMV soo have a look at a parts schematic to verify.
