well its designed for use on top of your house to keep leaves out of your gutter, so it should be pretty resistant to moisture. Ive had it on for about a year and it hasnt had any surface rust yet. Its cheap to get so if it did you coudl just whip up a new one. I dont think paint sticks well to galv, but you could find out while your at the store.

Thanks for the replies, how did you mount it, just drilled your own holes/regular screws or used existing holes? I have not looked at mine yet.

Here are some pics, I glued tabs onto the plastic and zip tied the mesh to them. they feel really secure, the mounting will be different on your year. There are a few threads about different mounting techniques for '00 and newer.
