Damaged billet grill
Hey guys,need your opinion,I have a billet grill I took out of my GS that was hit by thousands of glass nuggets,it pitted the bars pretty deep,I tried sanding them out but that just won't work,I was thinking about using a filling primer ,maybe several coats to get level again and painting it,any ideas,BTW ,I replaced it with a new billet grill ,just don't want to toss this one .

Plasti dip I don't think will fill in the nicks,if you can't sand out the nicks ,I doubt buffing will get them out,I might try plasti dip anyway ,I have never worked with it either.i also have a carbon Fiber splitter that was damaged at the same time,mostly clear coat damage. But I might try clearing it again and see how that works.

buy a new one you cheap b******. 
J/K I put one of those on and it started to rub so I pulled it off. How about a mesh one behind the stock black? You have black wheels so no one really expects your car to look good.

I was following a C3 up I 20 with the vette club and the glass top blew out of the C 3 went up like a kite and came down about two feet in front of me on the road,it turned into shrapnel covering the splitter,grill,both fenders and headlights,hood ,broke the windshield and scratched up the painted top,$ 8,200 damage. Car should be ready to pickup this Friday,I hope,already bought the new Carbon Fiber splitter and billet grill.
