Default What color should my cage be???

As ghey as it sounds, I'm actually having a hard time deciding. It comes bare metal so I'd like to get it powdercoated. I suppose it's ITR related because it's going in my R OMP 6 point with weld in harness bar and x-brace.

Help my decide and feel free to add your own choice.

Would work for a bolt-in cage.... unless you had an oven big enough for a shell

Hehe... anyways, I'm voting for bare metal. Take a wheel to it and polish it up, then clear coat it, show off the welds and such. My friend used a brush on clear lacquer and it turned out quite nice.

If your R is CW then painting it CW would be dumb because it'll get dirty and look like ****. And since you're stressing what color it should be you obviously care if it's dirty. I say leave it faw metal or get it painted a dark color.

Call me a ricer, I would paint it chameleon.

Originally I was just going to do gloss black like an Autopower. Then I saw one in white and it looked great. I'm not sure if I should do something off the wall Yes, it's a bolt in. The extra x-brace and harness bar will be added when the cage arrives. After that, it's off for some color.

Thanx for the suggestions so far

If I were you, and shortly I will be you, I would want something not-shiny. Either black or flat something. It should be less distracting when you're trying to look through monkey bars to see where traffic is.

I would think any bright color would be bad. I vote primer grey, otherwise black or CW (for the win).

I always have wheels and tires all over my rollbar and if it was white I can only imagine how terrible that thing would look by now...

I was gunna say, I'd paint it some easy black or something, maybe even flat black. Because mine has been nicked and scratched enough now that if and when I do touch it up it'll be easy with just gloss black.
