Hi guys,

certainly given me some ideas and questions.
I think powder coating the frame and anodising the mesh as Sean suggests in post #7 is a good option.

However not sure about how or where to get the mesh anodised. I guess I could leave it naked and let it naturally anodise.

But if I were to anodise the mesh then there'd be issues with its connectivity / screening.
Maybe clear lacquer on the mesh would be a better idea ?

Regards Tim
