I liked having my grill painted black better, but right now its "color matched"

 

I like yours color matched myself. Nice clean truck man... Dude how did you honeybomb the black painted grille where the oval used to be? Please tell...

 

I hand make them, well used to, havent done one in a while, and not sure that I could find time to do another one

 

^^^They're pretty involved to make and time consuming. I've been doing mine on and off for about a month now

Op that looks great on your truck

 

What do you just break the honeycomb out of another grill and put the puzzle together? If so what are you using to connect the peices?

 

Yea you cut out the emblem then using donor grilles to piece it together but it's not as simple as it seems because you have to match up the angles and everything.

I used quick steel epoxy and I'm in the process of sanding it down so it can be painted. There's a pic in the link called summer 2010 mods in my sig

Jake has been bugging me about how to do it, but there's a few pictures ive taken along the way of other grills ive sold

 

Dude I have to do it. Are you using the steel epoxy to reconnect the cut out as well? That looks sweeeet.

 

Well I did it. Heres how it turned out:

Thanks for the help and the pictures to convince me to do it

 

hey not fair. haha. i havent said anything for a while. plus those pics would have helped cuz i did mine slightly different but still same end product,

 

I prefer plastic weld epoxy, but ya

last one i did differently then those pictures too, ive adapted my technique since then

 

i really meant about the 1 solid piece you used to fill the hole. im gonna try and finish mine up this weekend

 

If you have the grill out of the car,you could sand blast it with a f ine grit sand.They also make a adhesion promoter you can add to the paint,flash bond.

 

Looks good man looks good

 

Hey patman found one grille today waiting on a response for the second. Then I'll begin mine. Don't want to ruin the one I have now just in case.. LOL.. When Im done I'll post it thanks for the help
