Repairing the grille on a 67 Dart question
I brushed satin black Krylon over existing finish after feathering out all stone pits with grill on the bench. This took a bit of time. I would have used 1/8 masking, but thought that dimension is just a bit too wide for this application.
Also I had to remove some signs of mayhem around the outer leading edges of headlight escustions. This was accomplished by firstly working the metal with dolly and hammer, than filing the whoops and gouged areas flat and true. The next step was to sand the metal work starting with # 220 working up through the grits 400, 600, 1000, 1500, 2000, and Mother’s metal polish. Once all nice and shiny I cleared the repaired area with several light coats.
Sorry no before photos, trust me it was a mess…
