DIY - Repairing Broken Grill of Maruti 800

[sreejeshtpl]

The search for an old type Maruti 800 grill ended up in Shivajinagar Gujri. Unfortunately I got a broken one. But i was happy that at least i could find it and the damage was fixable.

Prepared for the DIY by buying a triangle file, sand paper (600 grit), M-Seal, super glue, one can spray paint(matte black).

Here I go.

@Boss- am not going to fit it now (anyway am in Bangalore now and the DIY done here only, and my car in Kerala). Will keep it as a back-up.

 

[Mr.Boss]

Looks neat.
Will that M800 motiff will be chrome painted?

 

[sreejeshtpl]

Thank you Boss.
yes, am searching for those who chrome plates the plastic monograms. Do you guys know any firms do that in Bangalore?

M-SEAL sure does rock bro , your DIY looks cool and the paint job is nice!

Another neat and helpful DIY. But I believe that your existing DIY Grill looks much better than OEM.

Drive Safe,

The spray paint used is one named Bosney costs Rs.210 with a matte finish result. You will get it from hardware/paint shops.
