Tony,
Sorry, I didn't mean to slag black eggcrate. It is no more brittle than the white stuff. However, for my application I am using it to keep my kids from tossing barbie dolls into the sump. With the paint it feels a lot stronger than it did before I painted it. For a regular application like yours though, strength doesn't really matter. Also, I didn't factor in the cost of my time spraying it - so you saved a lot of hassle that way.
