mesh grill?

[DarkTower89]

It took me the better part of a day to cut and sand down all the fins using a dremel with cut off wheel and angle grinding attachment.
My main reason for it being so long is because the plastic kept melting as i cut it with the dremel but it got the job done.
Also had to sand the whole thing down when i was done because the chrome plating kept flaking off so it just made it easier to sand and paint the whole thing.

How are you painting the grill? Paint marker? and how much of the grill if any do you want to keep chrome?
Your off to a good start from the looks of your pics but if your painting the whole grill assembly and want to keep
the mesh the way it is paint it with out it in so you can just use spray paint or use a paint gun.

Yeah the mesh isn't attached yet, just formed and fitted.

I'm spray painting it btw (and my damn tape didn't hold very well and it scrubbed in a few parts)

Ah makes sense now well if that's the case some paint thinner and a clean rag are your best friend to help start over and get it the desired effect that your looking for.

[demond0d5]

Yeah that's what I would do if I was home except I'm not :/ and my girlfriend doesn't have any nail polish remover w/ acetone so...

Ah i can see where that would be a problem. Hope you're able to get it the way you imagined

[demond0d5]

Will post pics tomorrow with the current paint and see what it looks like (cuz I like the chrome)

Looks good, i like how you were able to keep the chrome.

[demond0d5]

Yeah I hadn't seen anyone else able to keep it chrome...I was pretty happy with the results...I think I'm gonna try to mesh out the rest of the bumper too (fogs and center) or at least see how it looks

You'd probably have to take the bumper off and trim the bumper so the mesh fits flush. I'd def do it to the lower middle part, not sure of the fogs. Look through xd_01 thread, he trimmed the bumper and add mesh flush to the bumper.

[demond0d5]

Yeah it would take a little cutting and stuff to make it look decent...thanks for the name, will look into it =D

Info on the grill?

[demond0d5]

Looks like he riveted/screwed it on judging from that second picture? I'll look up his thread later ^.^ sitting in the G just listening to music and engine right now, so peaceful

he did, I think it was page 18 on his build thread

[demond0d5]

glad you sent me his way bro, he didn't have much info on what he did (obviously it's straightforward) but I did flip a few more pages and found this picture...not sure how I feel about the overall look so I will def be holding off on it for a bit!
