it is 4ft by 1ft...

a home powdercoating kit would be handy right about now... i dont knowwhat to clean with, that is a good question... try a paint shop... they may have a bath to put it in...

This might help, I bought some aluminum mesh material to use on the grill of my truck. I bought it at Home Depot, it is called Gutter Guard. It is used on the gutters of a house to prevent leaves and twigs from getting in. It cost about $7 for 5 3' x 6" pieces. It cuts easily and can be painted any color. It might not be wide enough for your application, but I figured it might help.
