Thanks that was exactly what I was looking for. Actually someone ran into my car with a bicycle while I was parked and broke the front grill and stratched the bumper, I've manged to make the bumper look really good with some of the lipstick type wax fill and buffing, too the point where I can't notice the stratch from a couple feet away and it's not driving me nuts. I'm just looking to replace the front grill with a Mazda one myself since the body shop wanted $500 canadian to do the job and I can do it myself for $50, sure it's not looking brand new, but you can't really notice it and I'm sure I'll get more knicks and scraps over the life of my car. I think I'm actually gonna spray paint both grills with chrome paint now, I did it with the broken one and it looks really good, can't even tell its plastic anymore. Looks good and doesn't cost a fortune. I've only had my car since wednesday and the kid hit it about 27 hours after I got it. I was so pissed, but there isn't much I can do.
Has anyone else tried painting the Mazda grills? do you think it looks okay? I'm planning on leaving the black around the mazda symbol black and painting the grills chrome, since my car is silver and I think it should look really nice, I took the broken one off, painted it and replaced it and it even looks great broken.
