I used the 11 oz. spray can, I used four of them because I painted the entire grill and headlight surrounds. The center wing on the grill comes off very easily, but I couldn't find a way to get the chrome off the headlight surrounds so I just painted the whole thing. The headlight surrounds come off the bumper pretty easily once the bumper cover is removed. I found the plasti dip at the Home Depot, it was about $7 a can.
The trick is to clean everything really well, You can brush or scuff the surface you're painting but I didn't do that in case I ever want to go back to the original look.
There is a Hirsch stainless/brushed steel chrome replacement kit that I've seen, as expensive as it is I'm wondering if they just supply the new metal already attached to the headlight surrounds:
