Hi

Been messing around with an old grill ..fancied a change from the original !

Always liked black , I had a tin of satin black in the garage and a blue and yellow volvo badge I think its different .

Bit of a pain in the butt to set the badge in and fill it but i think the hour or so with the dremmel was worth it ?

cant beat spending time on your car doing things that you do cause you want to not because you have too!! sweet job looking forward to redoing mine it had quite a few chips in it after a couple of years.

Hi Guys

I dismantled the grille and sanded down with a 1200g wet n dry just for a bit of a key. Ive had a tin of satin black which i sprayed about 3 coats . Once id mounted the badge and filled it ..... I finished it with about 4 coats of clear laquer .

Hopefully it will last a while b4 it needs re-laquering :-)
