Default where can i get some auto paint for my front bumper

i just bought a new front lower grille for my silver beetle. i havent seen it yet, but im told it is blue. i want to buff down the color on the grille and repaint it pink or something cause theres no way i can match it to the exact silver of my car unless i take it to the dealer or something, pink is my fav color so i thought what the hell, give my beetle some character.. where can i get some auto paint or spray that would be good for the plastic grille? does autozone have it? or do i have to go somewhere else.

Is it this part that you are replacing?
PartsTrain.com - Hard to Find Auto Parts and Truck Parts - Grille - For 2002 Volkswagen Beetle GLS 4 Cyl 1.8L

that usually comes in Black. I wouldn't paint it pink. It would clash with your pretty silver. Black and Silver goes together but Pink and silver definitely does not.

omg i wish i had the money to get my car painted pink!
but if i do get my front bumper painted pink, (i think pink would look better than a blue one which is what i got, but thats my opinion.) i was going to get pink stripes on the side panels at the bottom of the doors and have a pink hello kitty sticker as well, on the door. i might do all this in photoshop to show what my ideas are

Sounds interesting. I would be very curious of how that would look. I know I shouldn't admit this but I am a Huge Hello Kitty fan myself. There goes my masculinity.
