Default Spray painting a Roll cage...

Hello.

Anyone know how much paint is roughly used for a roll cage? It's a 6 point OMP cage for a Fiesta.

don't really wanna buy too many spray cans, and what best? hammerite or primer and normal paint?

thanks.

May be cheaper and a better finish to get it powder coated

Hammerite will look pony IMO.

Try asking at your local body shop, nice bit of shiny solid colour aint going to cost much to spray on.

I think that I used 2 large Halfords silver cans to do my OMP cage in the 205. The finish was pretty good and has lasted well.

Matt black spray paint should do the trick, bit of primer on first and you'll be laughing, be a doddle of a job to paint, be extra careful when fitting it so it doesnt get scratched.
