Default Upper Radiator Support

I am wanting to remove the Upper Radiator Support so I can paint it.
Is it easy to remove? and what are the steps?

Thank you,

Take your air bridge and air filter housing loose then remove from the car. After that, you will only have four bolts (2 on each side) to remove then lift the radiator support up and off the car. Re-install is the reverse.
