This is a mistake if you want to protect the roll cage from deteriorating quickly.
Just take your time and start from one end and work so that you can get away from the paint.
I once painted myself into a box on my dirt car chassis.
Finished cars have interiors and headliners in the way and stripped cars like the recently painted car craft demon project have suspension.
Shown here is a visual difference between your basic 4 point roll cage and an 8 point roll cage from the chris alston s chassisworks catalog.
A spray paint like rust o leum will work great as it has rust proofing capability built into it.
Painting roll cages is a pain.
The bars shown in blue are optional.
At least not well anyway.
One of the tendencies when painting a roll cage is to use regular spray paint that is found on department store shelves.
The basic 4 point roll bar consists of a main hoop behind the driver two rear struts and an optional cross brace on the main hoop should you need it or the rules.
