Help me deside

Ok so in about 2-3 weeks my 10 point roll cage wil be going in the hawk. My question is do I paint it black like my old 6 point.

Or do I paint it body color. Navy blue metalic. Any input would be cool

I try to be careful getting in and out of my car, but it still gets scratched up all the time. Id go with black for the same reason above.

my interior is not all black though. I think the the blue would be a nice touch. And I am not super worried about scratches and stuff.

I think NBM would give it a nice custom touch. Either way that cage is going to look good.

NBM for sure. As others said it adds a custom touch and I think on an NBM car it will look better than black.

Interior's tan and black(charcoal) right? So I would paint/powercoat it black so it matches the interior. It would have a more custom look if NBM, but like others said above, it may be harder to keep nice epsecially being a metallic color...

I would say nbm if your interior was grey but since its the tan I would say black.. Or the better option just give the cage to me and I will put it in my nbm camaro and paint it nbm LOL Good luck with the choice... Either way a 10point is gonna look killer

dan, my powdercoat guy might have a color that would match your car, then you wouldnt really have much to worry about as far as scratches (unless you really hit the bar hard)
