yup totally doable.. its chrome metal ducting tape... basically sticky tinfoil made for high heat areas... available at any hardware store for about $5 a roll

And clearcoat that cover after touching up the letters. I think that'll really smooth things out. Great work on the heatshield, bud.

i tried....thanks for the idea my friend....and the tip of clearcoating....i've got some high heat clear coat..will that hurt the testors?

Clear coat will be fine with it.

Lay the first couple coats on LIGHT, to leave somewhat of a matte finish for the following coats to bind to, then lay on the next two coats about 15 minutes apart, overlapping well to leave a good gloss.

what kind of paint did you use for the black? is it jsut spray? alsoo, whered you get that pontiac symbol, (what part of a car, if its from a junkyard).

my uncle gave me a hand full of emblems...he used to be a body man......so i'm thinking it'* a grill insert on the 87-91 bonneville...if not it might be another model..but definitly in the 80'*

James

thats kind of what i was hoping, you dont have to have a grill insert for a 97 se style do you? Mines all faded...

on a side note, is it even possible to po those out and replace them?

on my cover i painted it over in black then used a rag with some braakleen to wipe the new paint off the silver lettering the next day before it dried 100%, it looks awesome, but almost TOO stock looking

yes and no....you can replace it..but you can't just buy the insert....i bought the whole grill from the dealer...118 dollars..in the factory color..only way to get a shiny red emblem

James

I'm not...i just pulled those cuz i wanted them.....i'm not a poser..i said that in my first post...i'll represent for the regular guys....
