DIY: OEM Emblem-less Grill
a little tip on the bumps that randy told me to do when i was making mine, all you do is flip over the grill and bam perfect replica bumps, just take a piece of flex board or whatever and use is as a sealer so it doesnt drip out, tape it up then fill in between the board and the grill itself and the pieces pop right out, shape them up then epoxy them down throw a fresh coat of epoxy on top of that to seal it down and get a better shape, sand down and bam your done
does anyone that has an idea of what this is want to help me?? much appreciated...
he's saying that you can replicate the bumps by using the existing bumps as a mold. just turn the grill over, choose a bump that's the right size, mask/block it off, then fill it up with epoxy/bondo/whatever. once the new bump is hardened, you can glue it to the topside of the patched grill.
After I started this project, I discovered that plastic picnic knives work better than Popsicle sticks because the bondo does not adhere to the plastic as well and excess bondo can be scraped off and te knives can be reused easily for more bondo application ( this does NOT mean their fit to be reused in food applications!)
I am sooo frustrated by these bumps!!! Can anyone help me with this? I've tried turning it over and filling in bumps but I jut can't get it right and the tab at the top is hard to replicate.... Can anyone please help?
