have wherever your getting it painted try to match your black seats as possible this way the cage looks like part of the interior. or if you want to match the exterior paint it the color of the car and will accent the interior. im paint mine to match match my car because the car is charcoal grey and the interior is charcoal lol so might as well match it.

hahaha I have a friend who does paint and body.....I am taping everything off and having him spray it for me.......I think black would look best but what shade of black....i don't see any point in going through all the trouble to spray it with a gun to have it be the same color that you find in a krylon can. I was thinking like a black pearl or it was suggested to me Rolls Royce Phantom Black

I say match it to your exterior paint. Once I get mine installed thats the route I'm gonna go, but I'll also be getting the entire car painted at the same time.

Black is cool looking and great for a street car.
I would not paint the cage in a racecar black, a lighter color will show bends or stress cracks much better, and thats function over form.

I say scap the idea of paint... get it powdercoated, not as showy, but you'll spend a lot less time touching it up down the road!

I think a nice deep black would look bad, and I agree with the other guys. The hell with a pro paint job. Do a good job with a rattle can. In my opionon the only cosmetic part that counts is the quality of your welds.

Im having my rollcage powder coated black by my uncles shop. And Im gonna weld it into my car at his other shop.

The interior is painted all gloss black by a buddy of mine in Pittsburgh. Once im done i'll post up a thread.

Good luck with yours bro.

Paint it the same color as your exterior. . .pewter if my monitor is good enough. Gives you some contrast.
