I'm going to get my grille painted, and I realized I don't know how to remove it. Is there a DIY step by step type of thing? I want to take off every piece, all 4.

 

I can give you a quick DIY,

Upper center- two clips along the sides and four clips on the top hold things in place, one by one using a small flatblade screwdriver pop the clips. Once all the clips are popped you can remove the grill, pull it from the top side first, try to get around the hood tongue, once past the hood tongue the top will pop straight out and the bottom follows

Lower center-usually best with two people and a screwdriver to reach through the grill and release clips, constant steady pulling from both sides at the same time while releasing the clips will help you to not break the clips and brackets. Toughest one IMO

Lower sides- Easy as pie, pull these out from the fog lamp portion. Just grab hold and give a solid pull, they should pop right out

 

So the main grilles will be pulled out as if you were trying to pull the car correct? Not pushed out backwards toward the engine?

correct and be gentle with the clips, they break easy
