I'm not sure what color I want to paint my 6pt roll bar. I was thikning black or body color ( silver ). My only concern is that the cage doesn't have swingout doorbars so they will probably get scratched up. What do you think?

Paint it! I had mine painted the same color as my car, and I love it. I get lots of compliments on it. Here is a pic:

Have it powder coated. More durable than paint. I think body color would be sweet!

I like that Mike! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Cool]" src="gr_images/icons/cool.gif" />

Can you powdercoat the cage in the car?

hmmm Getting the roll cage powdercoated in the car..... HMMMMMMM....... I'm not sure that would work...... You have to bake the coating on I dunno if you'de like that too much.. LOL

Since you got a cage and can race at other places you still gotta come back to Hub every now and then. and maybe one day I'll be able to smoke yer ***!!! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Big Grin]" src="gr_grin.gif" />

heh, doubt it. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="gr_images/icons/wink.gif" />

It's a weld in cage so I guess powdercoating is out. <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" /> I'll mostly be racing at No Problem Raceway in Donaldsonville,LA, but will definitely make some trips up to Hub City on Sundays.

uh...powder coat it BEFORE you put it in. otherwise a nice durable flat black would look ****. but i like that color a lot. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Yeah I meant to have it done BEFORE you put it in, and I also assumed it was a bolt in.

The Wolfe 6pt comes powdercoated black. I painted over the powdercoating.

Body color would look the best.. and im sure you could have it powder coated out of the car then welded in.. the carpet would hide the welds..

If your worried about scratchin the door beams just make a couple covers to wrap them (wrap around with Velcro).. you could make the cover out of the same material as your seats.. should look good AND protect the door beams from scratches (you could take off the covers at a show or such).. Just some ideas <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

Sears

That is a good idea, I think I will do that. <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />

The carpet is only going to hide the 6 pts to the floor, but the rear bars, side bars, and crossbar are going to be welded to the main hoop. No way to hide that other then touch up paint. I don't think you can "touch up" a poweder coat. <img border="0" alt="[guns]" title="" src="graemlins/gr_guns.gif" />

Justin,

The NHRA rulebook states that anywhere you helmet could contact has to have roll bar padding on it. If you put some directly behind your head then you might consider getting a color that matches your interior and putting it on the part you might touch getting in the car. This would prevent scratches and add another color to the interior. Maybe paint is silver and use a contrasting color padding. Not something you have to do but definitely an idea <img border="0" title="" alt="[Smile]" src="gr_stretch.gif" />
