darylmarklim Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 Does one know where I can purchase it? or what to search on google for? Basically looking for a type of mesh that you can't see through easily . So say if you installed it on your FMIC, from far it would look black and you wouldn't be able to see your shiny intercooler behind it so easily! Not sure what to google for, please advise!

darylmarklim Posted May 11, 2013 Author Share Posted May 11, 2013 true true any consideration painting a FMIC? none due heat or whatsoever right. but the prep and paint work will just reduce effectiveness slightly i guess?

Lazy-Bastard Posted May 11, 2013 Share Posted May 11, 2013 A heavy mesh that can't be seen through would interfere with airflow/cooling efficiency more that paint I would guess. +1 for painting cooler and mesh black, that's what I have done. Clean the cooler with some wax and grease remover, 1 coat of etch primer then a couple of light coats of matt or satin black 1 Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/425070-bumper-grille-mesh-that-you-cant-see-through-easily/#findComment-6847278 Share on other sites More sharing options...

GTR_NUTZ Posted May 13, 2013 Share Posted May 13, 2013 Yeah I just painted my fmic and pipes black. I got the mesh from super cheap and cut it to size of the bumper holes folded it around and sikaflex the crap out of it to hold it into place.
