Well the cage is in complete flat black primer right now. I bought a few cans of the hammer silver on my girls dime So I'll test paint a few bars w/each and see what I like

Just so you know Josh, you working on paint, has made me get off my lazy ass and start sealing/painting the metal work.

Being lazy was alot more relaxing...


Post up some pics of it, even if you don't like it and decide to go with another color.

No camo

Terry, glad to hear you rolled out that red carpet again and got to work It's def. easier to be lazy!! But now I'm stoned, so preparing to be lazy for the rest of the day haha

But I'm loading up some pics now. Flat black (primer color) does look awesome! I painted the cross bar (behind seats) with the hammered silver and am unsure. Maybe it needs to dry more. Just not enough separation like I wanted and saw on Chad's cage. I think Chad's cage was also rolled on (like franktf mentioned in another thread).

We'll see. I'm in no hurry to get the car done - but damn, I'm in a hurry to be done with PAINT (ugh).

I sanded and painted mine before it was installed, then touched with a rust transforming primer then painted again.
