How about buying the paint and trying it on something else before you get involved in ripping the bumper off?

AutoZone, Home Depot etc. carry that stuff ;-)

paint sticks fine to the mesh... The only thing u have to worry about is rocks and bugs chipping it... I painted the mesh grill I made for my 3 in black.... And I used black zip ties for now to hold it in place...

4' x 8'. It'll last you a while. I've hade to replace my mesh every year cause it gets discolored after the winter so I just swap it out. I've only bought 2 sheets and have 3/4 of my last sheet left.

If someone wants it they can have it.

paint should hold no just mfine. A real giid primier that'll stick to anything and your good. As for the chipping....I think it'd hold ok...not to many chips.

I know they'll do free cutting for lumber at Home Depot. Maybe they'll cut this stuff up for you, too. Doesn't hurt to ask.

lol....That couldn't be more true. I've cut my self several times while cutting the peices for my car.

I think what I did was just roll it up as small as I could the first time and put it in my trunk. Mebe the back seat. The second time I had my brothers truck so toss and go.

If you want Eric I can bring the mesh I have left over when I come pick up those stickers from you.
