Default Painting Rollbars and or Cages

I did a search on this and wanted to know what paint you guys are using. If anyone is rattlecanning it, or if its just being powdercoated etc...

I wanna do this myself. I dont own a paintshop, nor do I own any of the equipment. But I know how to do things right such as stripping, priming, and laying down coats. I want to use the best paint possible though so it takes to my rollbar.

any suggestions? Thanks in advance...

It's all in the prep work. Prep it well, use a wet on wet sealer suitable for bare metal. Then lay your base/clear or single stage right after the sealer has flashed.

Prep work and high quality materials will make the difference in durability.
