Of course the *ahem* 'correct' way to do this sort of thing is to create your own DataGridViewCell class and include that in your own DataGridViewColumn class. One advantage of that is, of course that it will be available for use in other situations.

YourDataGridView.Columns[TheColumn].DefaultCellStyle.Padding = new Padding(Left, Top, Right, Bottom);

this.Style.Padding = new Padding(Left, Top, Right, Bottom);
