Default What color mesh?

Guys,

I am about to get my fron Bomex bumper repainted. The car is black and so is the mesh grill. I was thinking about painting the mesh a different color so it would kinda stand out, as the black mesh is barely noticeable.

Any ideas for a color?? I was thinking something crazy like yellow - but then I don't want the car to look like a little Civic.

Should I just leave it unoticeable black or what color do u think??

Thx,

Jonny

Hell no!
Just leave it black. I don't think there's any reason why you should show off your mesh. It's just a mesh.

NOT making the mesh stand out is a better idea.

Cool

I tend to like bright colors myself but in this case I will reluctantly agree with the others........it's better off black.

Hey it's your ride, if you like it loud, you have the other option of a satin silver. Will stand out a little bit to contrast the kit (which is good), and being satin it's not that bare aluminum flash, but more a dulled subtle finish (which is better).

Also as rock chips and things like this take their toll on your mesh, chipped satin paint over silver mesh stands out much less than chipped black mesh over silver.

If not, then I vote black.

Just some options to consider.

Thx for the input guys - several things to consider. I do like the silver idea though.

Peace
