How would one go about painting this? i'm worried if i spray it all the little grill holes will seal with paint. Mine was pretty rusted, i'm stripping it down with a wire wheel and need to get it repainted.
 
Spray works just fine, just do very light coats form a little farther away than you would normally spray paint from, Approx 12-14". . . . . instead of the recomended 8-10"
 
Do multiple light coats at different angles to each other and you should be fine.

Use appliance epoxy paint for a good durable coating. If you need satin instead of high gloss, cover with a very light satin coat afterwards.

I've painted a Atari System I grille and didn't have any holes seal up or even come close to sealing up. If you spot something just take a pin to it right away before it sets up and you should be good.
