Wouldn't it have been easier to paint it before it went in? I guess it was all welded in the car no?

Looks killer man!! What did you paint it with and what color is that??

When I go to install my full chromolly cage in place of my mild steel rollbar I want to paint it this color. It is already metallic silver but I like the look of your just a little better.

I can find out Monday.. I didn't paint it.. They are reshooting it Monday, I found some imperfections in a few places and they can't just reshoot those areas..
