the grill i got from home depot is starting to look weird. it looks like the aluminum is getting dull. the next grill projects im going to get on will be sparyed with clear coat to protect it from the wear and tear of evryday driveing. this time imma just some garden gloves. grills is kind of sharp so watch out and don't get scratch.

well, I know how well the people in this forum like ghetto-ness, but I personally think that the mesh that's especially sold for making grills is worth the price.....they look better (come on, admit it...you can tell when grills are made of the mesh from home depot), and they don't rust and all.

And for real, it's not too bad- you can usually get a sheet of it from Canadian Tire (auto 'performance' section), or some local shop for around 40 bucks, and there's enough to make two grills......so grab a friend and split the costs.... 8)
