DIY Custom Grill Mesh

This is how I did my Custom Grill for my Ralliart.






Materials and tools Needed (Dremel Tool, Sand Paper, Bondo, Paint of Choice w/ Clear coat)




Bondo




Sand Paper




Paint




Step 1. Use the Dremel tool to cut of vertical plastic grill.



Step 2. Apply and spread Bondo to the surface of the grill where plastic was cut off.



Step 3. Let the Bondo putty dry, then sand grill surface until the desired texture.




Step 4. Make sure surface if smooth.




Step 5. Paint the Grill.



Step 6. Sand Grill to take away excess paint.



Step 7. Paint grill again until desired Color and texture it met.



Step 8. Apply clear coat to Grill.



Finished Product



***** Sorry I was not able to take pictures of the mesh grill and how I cut it. It's not that hard to do if you have a dremel tool. *****

Peace and I hope this helps.

It is very easy to remove. There are a couple of little push pin type things on the top and a couple of little bolts. Took me all of 5 minutes to remove both of em.

I have to commend you on a VERY HIGH quality job on your grill. I have mine off and I think that when I decide that it is time to do something with it, I am going to do the same as yours. BIG thumbs up from me!

Cool job!!! Hey since you asked favor for me for some mitsu badges back in Manila, maybe you could do my grills on the Galant while I'm gone for 2 weeks?
