I'm having trouble with paint sticking to the galvanized gutter guard...I used high temperature Rust-Oleum ( the one with a grill on the front of the can), and even before I attached them on, the paint started to flake off. I am now waiting to see if Bed-liner will stick better. If not I may have to go with something else.

So for those who plan on painting your Grill Mod- a good sanding is a good idea if your using the galvanized steel gutter guards.

So after some trial and error, I went to Lowes and found that they sell 36x36 sheets of aluminum. A plus is it was already painted black (also comes in white). It cost around $39 a sheet. There is enough to do two grills, so split the cost with a buddy.
It was easy to install. I just drilled out some holes to slip the zipties through... And I was done.
I think it turned out pretty good!
