Ok.

Once you have the middle stalk cut out of the grille you will have 2 large holes.
What i did was get a small piece of MDF and stick it to the underside of the grille with fibreglass filler to provide a base for the bog.

once that sets hard just bog up the hole.
Then sand, Bog, sand, bog, sand etc.

Also the mixtures on the sueprcheap bog/fibreglass filler are 50-1
So 50 parts of bog to 1 part hardener
Or, a massive clump of bog, to a dribble to hardener.

Give the project a few days mate.

YOUR MY HERO HAHAHA

can i ask what u use to cut you 'stalk' out? i dont have any power machines lol

im assuming balsa wood will also be ok for base?

also ones finished bogging lol, umm do u use that epoxy resin and then paint, or should the bogging be smooth enough to paint over... what grain of sand paper should i use? and should it be that wetsand stuff? sorry about all the questions:redface: :redface:

i used an angle grinder to cut the stalk out, might even be worth getting the cheapy $15 one for little jobs

Balso wood will be fine for a base
the bogging will certainly not be smooth enough to paint over lol.

get a sheet of 120G, 400G, and 800G wet and dry

Its better to dip the sandpaper in water first, i dont know exactly why but i find it traps all the dust in the water so it saves you breathing it in.
once you've finished sanding it just wash it down with some water and a rag to wash off all the sanding particales stuck on by the water

what do u mean by do u use that epoxy resin and then the paint?

lol scrap the epoxy resin....well then what do i do to get it ready for paint??

btw thanks again

no probs, make sure the grille is all sanded down, i.e. no clear coat left, then give it a few coats of primer.
lightly sand those coats of primer (like 1200G) to make it ultra smooth.

id probably get it professionally sprayed if you wanted a really good job.

lol i wouldnt go near the thing to paint it, yeah ma mate owns a panel, and paint shop so ill get them to do it....awesome thank u so much for that, i was clueless b4...as u could probabaly tell:nuts:

Personally I wouldn't use MDF as it swells if water is absorbed into it, just use plastic for it, I just got some thin plastic off a CD case and cut to size.
