This might sound wack but its legit.

Home depot, gutter guard (its like 4 dollars)
rustoleum gloss black
or you can leave it silver if you want

i you cut it perfect and put it back it it looks good.
I have also done this myself
good luck

i have not been able to find gutter guard in the correct dimensions to fit mine. all i managed to find was some flimsy crap that might have well been chicken wire. I would suggest you paint it some color though, because i had a piece of mesh sitting outside and it's rust orange right now. doesn't look cool.
