Title: Is it worth attempting to smooth over the plate holes myself?
Post by: Joshy on March 08, 2014, 06:05:27 pm

Well, as the title says.
I know i can buy a brand new grill with a smooth plate bit, but i dont really want to pay £100+ for one. I'm thinking of filling the holes myself but i dont know if its worth the attempt. Has anyone else tried this? any tips ect  :happy2:

Ah brilliant! What did you use to smooth and fill the holes?

I'm alright at spraying, managed to get some decent results when I did some stuff from my previous car.
