Radiator grille update - logbook Toyota Corolla 2001

The other day I noticed that the once black Pro-sport mesh, inserted into the radiator grille 3 years ago, has already become metallic in color.
I had to tint and embellish at the same time, adding "carbon" touches ...

Firstly, white spirit wiped off the remnants of the old paint on the grid,

secondly, pasted with masking tape,

then I walked with a primer a couple of times,

then only black matte paint was at hand, but it doesn’t matter, also a couple of layers.

And lastly, colorless varnish.

The intermediate result is...

And now in the car

An hour later, he took up pasting with vinyl. I didn’t bother with spending a whole piece, but stupidly adjusted it according to the pattern from pieces butt to joint, in the end: everything is normal!

The mesh is attached to black glass sealant. Plus, like you said, tucked inward, and tucked into the girth of the frame.

What is the mesh attached to?) Is it bent inwards a little more?
