Audacity Racing · Post by **Audacity Racing** » Thu Apr 28, 2005 10:05 pm

this weekend i'm going to do the mesh grill mod on my lanos and was wondering what everyone's ideas where...

i want to use the gutter guard kinda stuff instead of paying for some over-priced aluminum mesh but i want to paint it...

should i use a high heat paint? i want flat black and bought a can of bbq paint... will this work ok? am i going to have to prime it? thanks in advance!

I used some of that for my heat shield... worked great. Im actually surprised it stayied on. I kinda like the color of it too... I wouldnt say its a flat black though.. its a little bit more greyish.

Powdercoating. This way ya don't have to repaint it after every year.

I retouch today my mesh grill, I use regular enamel paint. Look real good. Maybe a should use primer before paint them but I want to put the grill expantion with the mesh...

nope thats not stock... the stock grill that got mesh on the sides have different mesh pattern, one horizontal rib at the middle and the mid section ribs are chrome as well.
