Question: Valence removal for painting

Hi all,
looked around for awhile and didn't find, so was hoping I could rely on some of us who have been down this path. I would like to remove the front valence (instead of masking around it) in order to paint it. Any threads or advice on how to go about it. Pics would be a bonus.

I'm going to go flat black, so appreciate any additional details as far as prep (rubbing alcohol, paint thinner, sanding, etc). Thanks in advance.

 

From what I remember, you have to remove the grill, you can see the tabs/clips, from the top and you have to go under the truck for the rest. Just be careful with the BLUE CLIPS, one on each side.

I painted my valence with bumper/trim black paint. I just washed it down with dish soap, and cleaned it up with rubbing alocohol.
