I need to clean up the mesh a little so that it's all straight-cut down the center, then I'll shoot the whole thing in black PD to match the bumper, then go back, mask off the plastic, and shoot the mesh in semi-gloss charcoal gray, which matches the hood, and the mesh will still have the PD texture, just in gray (I wanted gray plasti-dip, but home depot only had black PD, lowes has black and white).

I screwed up the plasti-dip, so it's about a 10 foot paint job right now.
