This has to be one of the most pain in the *** jobs to do, but I am glad I did it.
I have always liked the look of a bracket car with the cage painted the same colour as the body of the car.
In my case this is Porsche red. I am a do it yourselfer so I did this with 12 spray cans of paint. My local paint and body supply can put real automotive paint in a spray can. I used acrylic enamel, 3 coats 10-15 minutes apart and 1 coat of duplicolor clear.
As with any kind of paint job, it's the prep, and I spent months prepping this.
Not just the bars, but masking the entire car. However I am happy with the results. A few flaws here and there but for a spray can job in a home garage I think it came out pretty good. Good enough for a race car lol.
