hi mate, for the mesh i just used primer and normal satin spray paint, for the bonnet vent drip tray thing i used vht matt black paint and mesh the same spray paint as the bumper mesh, i actually sprayed the bumper mesh in situ, i really should have removed the bumper and took the mesh out, but i was lazy and just used a lot of masking and sheets of cardboard behind the mesh so no spray went on the intercooler !!! but it does make a hell of a difference, to finish it all off i used clear coat thats meant do protect it from chips , saying that i already have one chip on the bonnet vent :x so at the weekend ill give that another go , it only takes 2 mins to remove from the bonnet
