We are in the process of building our coop and run. I was wondering what paint to use to paint hardware cloth. It seems the consensus is that it will look better if black. The hardware cloth that came black was 3x more expensive so we went with the plain galvanized. We have 3 kids, so we have "free" labor to do the painting. Just need to know what kind of paint. Also, does the paint last long on it? Thanks for any help.
