Those two pics are what the new upper grille block looks on the car. It has one layer of epoxy resin and a first treatment of bondo to fill larger holes and dents from the 2-part foam.

Second epoxy resin layer

Filler Primer to seal the remaining holes and dents

I was wrong ! Live and learn...

Time to sand that primer and fill the gaps.

After lots lots lots of sanding, it was time for the primer...AGAIN !

Next step is to find colour-coded paint 6R4 (green mica) to finish it off.

Stay tuned for the final result in the coming days.
