That was the reason for this thread, their hard to find now powder coated in black, and with 3 coats of satin black paint, I don't think they'll need re-doing too much

Don't spray it, get it powder coated, I did my mesh grille a couple of years ago and was for ever re-doing it
Once it was powder coated it has been fine ever since

This is what I did - I decided to go for a DIY option - bought some RIPSpeed competition mesh from Halfords for £22 and some cable ties for £1.50. Did a spot of measuring and snipped the mesh to size. Took a couple of hours messing about getting it to the right size, but job done now. I'm happy with it...see what you think?



I should also add that it is still in perfect condition after one year so it must be hard wearing.

I'd not bother making one up or spraying one mate. Revolution do an Orciari one with the same style mesh for £69.99
