Default Need a DIY for Lower Mesh Grill...

I was wondering if anyone has a DIY for a lower mesh grill or knows where I can find one?
I did the DIY for my upper grill but am wanting the same effect for my lower but can't find any threads for a DIY for the lower grill.

yes it is very easy to work with, sold in sheets i believe... paintable too, its just metal, so i guess with a metal primer you should be okay, but i left mine bare metal. prep work for metal? no, just need good cutting tools, i used tin snips. i don't know exactly what its called, but i'm sure if you explain what it is at home depot they would know right way.
