Airbrush Semi Gloss Black and them airbrush, AlcadII Stainless Steel
paint over top, Rattle cans will only block it up, as I found trying to prime some once.

I use paint markers:

The only addition I can add is that when I paint mesh, I give it a shot of primer to help the paint stick to it.....

Other than that, what Steve said about painting it is right on the money

I have noticed when I spray mesh, the bubbles get filled because of spraying too closely. This may have been you're problem.

The 100 refers to the mesh density, I don't recall the exact count, but the higher the number the finer the mesh.

If it were for 100 pieces they would be constantly sold out
