Does anyone know what type of body filler will works well for plastic? The closet thing I heard of was Duramix, but the shop recomended against it. Is there anything else besides that and Bondo?Originally Posted by The 99 Galant
The way i did it was i took my bumper off and filled in the area with fiberglass mat from the back. Then smooth it out in the front with glazing putty. I use a putty called "metal glaze" (although you can use it on virtually any material). Bondo is too brittle and hard, and will crack and fall off as your bumper flexes. The glazing putty is more flexible.Originally Posted by CHICAGO_ONE
Need some paint or bodywork done in Chicagoland or NW Indiana???.. http://www.alsautobodyexperts.com/
here's what i did.
i let the wire mesh stick out so i don't have to fill the cuttings. then just screwed the mesh so it's sturdy.
sorry for being off topic, but how did you paint your inner grill (between the head lights) to be black? did you use spray or brush? do you have to cover the silver parts? thanksOriginally Posted by milo111000
You can also cover those fins wit black vynl.

do you have to go to the dealership and try to get paint thats the right color, or am i missing somthing? how do you make it so the grooves you cut out match and dont look like shit?

what would u recommend for the grille fins, flat black or gloss black?Originally Posted by milo111000
2011 Camry- 202 miles- just picked up 9/10/10
2008 Pontiac G6- 26,065 miles- traded in
1999 Galant ES- 91,846 miles- long gone
my first choice was glossy kind.. but i didn't really feel that.. so best bet is flat... atleast when it fades, it don't look too bad..Originally Posted by cdipier2
"gettto mesh" thanx alot 4 the tutorial [img][/img]
i'd say stick em out. have em molded to the grill and lower part of bumper. might look better. also paint them please.
