Screen Test


otterine

I tried more tests on the micro mesh to see if I could tone down the sheen. Top to bottom:

    Rust-Oleum Self-Etching Primer
    Rust-Oleum Aluminum Primer
    Model Master Metalizer Lacquer in Gunmetal
    Krylon Paint / Primer in flat black

All very nice colors and no more sheen. Apparently, I was the problem when I tried painting this mesh before. haaaaaaaa. The paint adhered just fine without clogging the holes.

I think the clear choices for color are the Rust-Oleum Self-Etching Primer and Model Master Metalizer Lacquer in Gunmetal. Both remove the sheen and the results are not too light or too dark.  I think I will go with the Rust-Oleum Self-Etching Primer for the simple fact that it is made to bond to metal. The Model Master Metalizer Lacquer did rub off easily when I ran a paper towel across it, while the Rust-Oleum Self-Etching Primer stayed put.

I like the top one. It's subtle and not so dark that it distracts one's attention away from that pretty green door.
