I was going to get my mesh grille in the front of my car painted black and i was wondering how exactly do i do that? What kind of paint do i need? Hers a picture of it on my car..

That grille mesh looks VERY fine - paint might just close up the last of your remaining airholes....

Na its really not fine it just looks like it in that picture lol. The holes are actually kinda big.

yeah i agree with sTL. i would get some better flowing mesh in black

edit: late post, but still looks really fine haha. go with the black tho

i'd go with a powdercoat...
will probably be a thinner layer vs. a rattle can job

I agree a unpainted grill looks incomplete and unattended, is distracting to the desgin of the bumper. Wheneve I see an unpainted mesh I end up looking at it instead of the bumper.
Powdercoat it, or get a powdercoated universal mesh, here is a great site, http://www.customcargrills.com/products.asp?id=1 The diamond XXL grill mesh is what I am putting in my Se03c its great....
