Restoring a grill? repairs and paint?

I redid my 72 a while back. Then traded it for a 70-71 grill so I get to do it again:toothy10:


I sand it down then fix any cracks or chips with Zap-A-Gap. It is a sandable gap filling super glue made just for plastic. Just fillin the cracks or chips with it, let it dry then sand is smoth.

If the crack is on the edge of the grill I will put a peice of tape along the back side of the grill then put the super glue on. That was it wont just run out every where. Then when it is dry remove the tape and sand it down. You can see the tape in the first two pic's.

I just used rattle can black and aluminium engine paint on mine. But I have hered a lot of people say they use rally wheel paint.


I paint the silver first then mask it off and paint the black.
