i've just order an X6 thats exactly the same colour as yours, and painting the mesh is the first mod i'll be doing - thanks for the photos.
What about painting the under side skid plate as well? |

I actually didn't paint the mesh BMW sells those two center ones fairly cheaply. The hardest part was the installation. The only ones I painted were the fog lamps ones. I'm undecided about the skid plate you barely see it so I dont know if I want to deal with it.

how easy was the fog light trim to remove? does it just pull off or do you need to remove the entire mesh assembly first then separate the trim from the mesh?

I ordered up a set of the black grilles you mentioned, so these should be with me shortly - the trim that is anoying me most (and i've only had the car three days) is the wheel arch and side sills - i hate these being black so i'm thinking of getting these sprayed to match the colour of the car. Anyone one else already painted those parts?

You literally just have to stick your fingers in the mesh and pull it out, the whole thing just snaps in and out. Then the silver part snaps on and off as well, very easy.

what did you use to paint the bit around the fog lamps and how long did it take once removed?
