Post by: logeyboy on 24 September 2008, 22:14

Has anyone ever used anything like this to tidy their faded Grille?
If so what is it like?

Thanks

Wet and dry paper, elbow grease and a tornado red(iirc) touch up pen.  Why pay more?  The satisfaction of doing the job yourself is much better that 'buy it and fit it'.

I think your better off doing it yourself, Rub the area down and mask it up and you can get Tornado Red in a spray can and spray it. It looks better and more original. I done mine about a year ago and you just cannot tell from the original.

Well I'm kinda lazy.

For the cost of this I might give it a go, if I don't like it then i'll take it off and do it properly
