Do avoid appearing too much of a numbskull when I go into a
habberdashers to
ask about availability of such cloth - is there a generic or trade name
for
that sort of open weave decorative cloth ?

I used to use a material called Rug Canvas which is a tough cross weave
of stiffened thin string, the 'holes' are about a quarter inch square,
It takes spray paint very well, and it`s very strong - if correctly
tensioned, you can stand on it.
There are dozens of firms selling repro grill cloth for Selmer/Vox/Wem
etc.

Was the paint for decorative effect or for stiffening ?
I may also try the local street with half a dozen Indian sari material shops
as a lot of that is tinselised, maybe they have some use for a coarser, open
weave, tinselised material.
