Black bumper mesh ~ABS/Plastic~ Anyone seen any to buy?

[chbuzz]

I'm getting ready to change out the mesh in my bodykit bump center(emblem area) I have honeycomb aluminumm mesh now, wanting to change it over to black mesh; probably out of abs/plastic... mainly because I'm worried just painting the mesh would chip/weather to easy and would look bad in no time. I know that the abs black mesh front bumps are all to common on factory bumps nowadays but.... Has anyone seen any place or have any ideas where I could get some black mesh made out of abs/plastic?

try a google search for perforated plastic.

im using a metal lathe that they use for stucco as my mesh. comes in big sheets for like 8 bucks. easy to wrok with, just wear gloves.

painted it with black engine enamel and chipping wasn't an issue for me.

powdercoating is another option but kinda $$

1. google strangely had hardly nothing. I found one place that wanted $60+ for a sheet kinda pricey.
2. The engine enamal... was it the high heat where u set it with heat? I wondered about that some.. but I thought it wasmore geared for coating high heat rather than chip resistance/toughness.
3. yeah they say powedercoating is tough... but I don't like the "black" in powdercoat.. its not black enough :)
I'm coming close to just using my extra bodykit mesh I have left over and use bedliner material to coat it. Only thing thats holding me back I think it might crack/peel.

cool.. I'm gonna go into home depot tomorrow. I already looked at menards..nothin.
I'l check lowes too. I konw this would be ideal.. beause its UV resistant and resist chipping.

did prices go up? that was like the standard price the last time i bought some.

[chbuzz]

I seen the gutter guard.. was hoping for something a little stronger and cleaner/nicer looking. I just might end up using it though.. I had my front bump off for about a month trying to decide what to use. I did get black headlights on thought while it was off 8)

i guess it always goes on sale, i think the original price was like less than 3 bucks though! ha!
