I did this to mine about a month ago. I placed strips of tape between each vertical grille piece, that way the chrome border might appear to be a solid piece of chrome. Took way longer to mask, but looked decent.

Haha, ended up repainting the entire thing silver though. Grille looked to much like a Ford when it was black.
