anyone have any luck repainting a grill like this?
Describe the parts broken. If it is the mounting tabs, just gluing will probably be too weak. I repaired some broken tabs by adding some spring wire as reinforcement with Epoxy Steel Putty to bond it all together. That seems to be working OK. I even used that to make a completely missing tab.I have a few little broken pieces on my grill, any ideas on a good technique to repair them? Do you just glue back together and if so regular filler?

Holy crap that looks better then when it sat in my garage. Great workYep, I just did one about a week ago. First I sanded my grille and bezels down with 800 grit sandpaper and afterwards washed everything very well with warm water and dish soap. Then I masked everything that was black off and painted it silver (used rallye wheel silver). After letting the silver dry for about 5 days, I taped all the new silver off and sprayed the rest of the grille black (used krylon fusion: satin black). Here a pic. of the end results, I still need to do the parking lamp lenses.
