brushed will no look as slick as sprayed, granted that stuff really doesn't spray all that slick anyways, might as well use a black paint or spraybomb it

not true... por 15 will lay out very well while brushed... just make sure you do not do it on a humid or rainy day as it will make it cure faster and not flow out as well. just make sure that any parts exposed to a lot of sunlight are topcoated... por15 chalks up when exposed to direct sunlight over time. You can also reduce por15 with their solvent and spray it through a regular spray gun if you don't want to go the brush route.

oh yea... if you haven't used por 15 before.. make sure you read the entire can before use... might end up with either black hands for a month... or a half used can that you can't open anymore.. haha

I have used POR 15 and their POR Blackote (SP) both nice products....but I dont think they laid down that well....I think for your cage you should just get Extreme Chassis Black Gloss...from Eastwood Co (not sure if allowed to post company name...sorry mods)....very easy to use and pretty cheap.
