Need to do some plastic repairs on my grill. Do I have to get some special kit to do this or can I find what I need at the local hardware or auto parts store?

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks
Rick

Guess I should have done a search before I posted this. Found an old thread that Tony442 Cutlass S did awhile ago. Looks like bondo and JB weld is the ticket. Let me know if there's anything else that might work. His thread is a few years old. Maybe something new has hit the market?

I'm about to tackle mine this weekend. I was thinking JB Weld as well.

Detroit Muscle had an episode in which they repaired a grille. Link below - go to about the 13:35 mark.

They used a 2 part epoxy designed specifically for plastic repairs. Larger repairs might require a netting type of material to maintain structural integrity. Not sure of the brand of material they used. Hopefully, the local auto parts store has something similar. If not, i'm sure Eastwood has it.

I used fibreglass to fill in large gaps or fab missing pieces. I used job weld or bondo for finishing.

I used CA glue(that I use on models). I like it because you can sand it and it won't gum up. It's also seemed to last very well...with the abuse I put my car through.
I was just cutting pieces from one grill and putting them into another grill...combining the best parts from a few to make 2 good ones.
I did not have large sections that were missing.
