Where to buy mesh

Not the most exciting topic, but I'm wondering where most of you got your bumper mesh from for your body kits? Ebay? A specific online store? Any input is appreciated.

I bought mine as gutter guards and cut it up and fit it. Looks good, also sprayed it black. There are a few sites out there that sell them, but are expensive for what they are.

Thanks guys! And James, what did you use to pain it black with? Did you have to rough up the surface first?

I just used some outdoor black spray paint, like you would for patio furniture (metal). I didn't have to scuff it up enough, spray it like you would anything else; a few light layers to build up the initial grab and then full spray to get it good. I only sprayed one side too as to not waste time / paint on the back, where no one will see.

Home Depot Racing as well.

They have plastic covered half inch. Benefit is that you can use it to hold the lip up when the silly little supports break.

Do you happen to know exactly what product you used/how you attached it? I'm looking online now and I don't see an easy way to install it.
