damn shiney either way.
looks good!

i just painted mine last weekend and i rolled it on with a smooth roller for painting cabinets.
it left just enough texture to it that it matches the stock panels almost perfect.

The pictures were taken after the paint was dry.

The head room is great. I'm going to do the other bars later. The only reason I put the funny cage on was due to another local car hitting the wall and ending up on it's top. For some reason it really bugged me and with our cars having T-tops, I really don't like the idea of track road rash on my heads.............lol

The paint has some trash in it so I'm repainting it. Hate being a perfectionist. I can't stand it when something is not done correctly!

i had that happen the 1st coat of paint on mine.
sanded all the trash out and put a 2nd coat on it, all looks good now.
what i did learn, you need to change your equipment frequently. i prolly went through 6-8 foam rollers, but the end result is worth the few bucks out of pocket.
my 1st coat i got trash in it more than the second coat, around the floor area mainly. no matter how much you clean, there is always going to be some trash.

good luck with it.
