DIY Mesh Lids

[RaymondL]

I finally got around to going to Home Depot to pick up an aluminum window frame kit. I cut the 4 pieces to size, and put it together. I"m wondering if I really should be spray painting it because during the cuts of the ends, it exposes the aluminum.

I was planning on using Krylon All-in-One Fusion spray paint - this product replaced the prior one over the years, which some reefers claim it's safe to use, and I'm hoping this one is too.

Or should I just not bother with painting it? My concern is the ends of the cuts exposed and corroding under the salt. Forgot to add, the window frame kit isn't really black, so thought I'd paint it to match, but really no big deal.

Thanks

Interesting project, look forward to see what you will make of it

Out of curiosity, is it so much cheaper than the kits you can buy in shops like BRS?

I didn't bother painting
