Don't know what model you are looking for. -
Huck makes some pop type rivets like magna bulb that might work. Just fill in the center hole with filler before you paint. You can use a regular inexpensive riveter.

You need a Huck gun capable of doing Magna Grip fasteners, which is going to be over $1000.00. You can get a refurbished tool for under $800.00, but then you'll have a few hundred in the right nose cone. Or you may be able to get a used one, but you wont find a good one for much cheaper. Your best option if you don't need the Huck for for other jobs is to fit it together using a few 1/4" bolts, then bring it to a body shop or dealer and pay them an hour labor to Huck it together for you.
Any blind style rivets with a hole in them wont work well. The Hucks on the grill sides don't get painted, so you can't fill the holes.Semi Crazy Thanks this. -
