    If you were going to paint it, I've heard guys used JB weld or something similar and sand it to fit. Like Bob said, I haven't heard many great out comes trying to weld one up. You could always repair it with JB weld and then powder coat it chrome? IDK Good luck with it!

    Ive used this product on horn rings, cast moldings, and other things that are made of pot metal. I have also had a few less than desirable attempts with it as well. The quality of the metal used in the castings seems to be a direct reflection on my success level using this stuff. If the grill is broken I dont think it would hurt it to try? It melts at a low temperature and acts much like silicon bronze or a viscous Brazing rod, or cold solder if that makes any sense?
