Grille

[TypeG]

it won't chip if you strip off the chrome with bleach.

i've also heard it won't chip if you use self etching primer on top of the chrome.


i did this one a while back in arcadia green. i stripped the chrome off, which was very time consuming.


later.

that car is nice!! maybe with because its black on black it stands out better with the mesh, how'd you get the emblem out though? mine is a little smaller and looks built into the grill

Thank you for the compliment. On the 90-91 grill there are two screws on the back that hold the H emblem in place, you'll notice I had to snip little holes in the piece of gutterguard I painted black for the pegs on the H emblem to fit through where the screws mount.

Maybe i'll bleach mine next time, spray it with self etching primer, then paint, then clear coat. It would be bulletproof!

It's done. I have progress photos too, but this will have to do for now.

I really like that transformers grill and the icp grill that $#*! is sic heres what i just did with mine but i bought another one to do something else with not sure what yet but will figure it out

[keepinitclean]

I think you should ditch where it says accord and put the CB7 badge on that side, and hell maybe black out that mesh

Chrome is never a good subsrate to paint over, however if you scuff it good with a scotchbrite pad and use an etch primer it'll definately last longer than if you just wash it and paint over it. Like you said though, stripping it off is best and worth the time it takes to do it.

I didn't sand the chrome off the grill on my accord. i used the bleach bath method. Sure it took a few days and a jug of clorox but i didn't damage the grill by using the wrong sand paper.

here is my grill color matched to my car with mesh installed.



here it is installed on my car.

how do you get the accord emblem to stay in place in the grill?
