Did my grill mode today. I used plastic rain gutter strip/roll that is available in ACE hardware store. Its already black and no need to paint it. All was needed is to cut each piece (its not sheet its a roll of about 5"wide and verrrry long).
Instead of using 3M tape that is attached on zip tie blocks I decided to get rid of that 3M (as many people complained that it looses greep after a while). The easy way to take off 3M off of those blocks is to boil them for about 5 min and than simply pill them off.
Used Gorilla glue to attach zip tie blocks, though if I'd do it again I would probably go with some super glue type that dries up quicker than gorilla.
The whole process took me 3 hours two of which I was waiting for glue to settle.

I cut a piece of expanded aluminum metal 15" x 28". Primed and painted satin black and then notched out around the retaining clips for the grill, I used self adhesive zip tie blocks and trimmed them to fit between the grill slots. I used 3 on each slot of the grill and 3 on each end, all of them evenly spaced and used black zip ties to secure the grill insert in place.
All the materials came to around $25 or less.
