Re: Painting Grill

I picked up a "mostly straight" grill surround for my 72 and sand blasted it so far. I plan on filling in the small dents with regular body filler, priming and painting. I'm thinking about a silver metallic or the same wheel paint I'll paint my rally's with. I salvaged the grill surround on a previous 72 I had by taking a wire wheel to it, bondo'ing, priming, and painting the body color. It held up real well.
