i have one now but it looks trash cuz of the winters, so any DIY info to make a "proper" good lookin one?
Where did you get your mesh? and don't be ashamed to say Home Depot either LOL.
ha well chase pitkens, a local hardware place ...went outa business lol
LOL. Did it start to rust on you or what? I was thinking you just need a good base coat with a clear coat and it should be fine.
See if you can find Bulldog Adhesion Promoter - makes paint stick to ALL automotive surfaces as they say, including metal.
nah, its just when i hit a snow bank at school it bent it, and i realized how @!#$ty of a just i did oringally, and i plan on re-doing it this summer, no point in doin it now, its winter, but also, i wanted some input if i should keep it the same color or go chrome?
yea, thats my thing, i dont want it to stand out like crazy, i like the stock, but not stock look,.......like i mentioned i did a half @$$ job before, so now im goin to take my time and to it right, only problem is going to be matching my paint again
yea, i mean you can see what it looks like now in my grill, only thing with black is after thinking it may be too much black in on the grill, the mesh + the outer-ring, so i might try aluminum look, to match my wheels
i cant find galvanized mesh, and theres no menards around my area, upstate new york/rochester
depending on what your looking for... you can find expanded aluminum mesh on some types of washable furnace filters. try home depot or some other hardware store. its not the best for large areas with no backing because its kinda flimsy.
here's the best shot i could find of my sunfire with it painted blue
yea that looks similar to mine, actaully my first attempted i used mesh that is used to cover chimnys, im tempted to put it in those little spots in the front, i dont know how to make it stay in place..
hey Gary, if you want to make a trip to buffalo, I have a ton of extra mesh laying around. I still have the big RKSport mesh piece for the type-j bumper as well.
im right near the Depew/Lockport exit off the 90 if interested.

i'm not sure how your bumper is designied but on my sunfire the bottom vents have nothing to fasten the mesh to so i kinda folded it around the back and used some silicon to hold it in place
ya, i usually like to use epoxy for grills. quick bond, holds well, but can be removed fairly easily
^^^^ this is true. unfortunately i didn't have any epoxy on hand when i did it
Yea Joey, ill have to plan a trip out there, i actaully just ordered a peice of chrome mesh off of ebay, right be4 i seen your post, so im gonna see how it looks, and get back to you, i honestly would come out there just to see the car too,.......also are there any meets around our area?
