jkdcuda Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Many models come with chrome grilles, not a very realistic look. Im looking for ideas in making them more realistic. i heard of using ink-alcohol to fill in the whole grill with a painted look. looking for different ideas. What about darkening between the chrome ribs , so you still have a chrome grille, but more realistic? Thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VW Dave Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Other than doing some sort of black wash, you are into a lot more work making a grille look realistic. Sanding from behind to open up the grille or removing & replacing with PE or scratchbuilt parts are the way to go if washes don't do it for you.
