Finally got the grille done

I powder coated the frame and used Eastwood's extreme chrome powder coat on the headlight cups, hood spring, and the headlight actuator bar on the back.   I was on the fence about painting the argent silver on the front of the grille but I decided to go all black other than the trim. Glad I didn't now, I think it looks mean!   Plastiix to repair all the plastic and missing teeth in conjunction with a plastic welder (different post about this). I found the aluminum trim a challenge but knocked the dents out and gave it a good polish.   To finish the aluminum trim, I coated with 2K clear aerosol.  You can get it on Amazon and its a 2 part epoxy aerosol.  There is a button on the bottom of the spray can you press in which breaks a capsule on the inside which releases the activator.  The can is good for about 48hrs after you activate it.  Made by Spray Max.
