Made a couple of custom KG grilles for Cowden.
The surrounds and spears are made of 1mm mild steel, then chromed. The stainless steel mesh was formed, then powder-coated matt black.
These took WAY longer than they should have, so big thanks to Cowden for being so patient!

Nice work Barry. Good to see that custom work is alive and well in SA.

Thanks guys!
These would be about R2400-00 per pair. (and that is about HALF my regular labour rate....)
