Best 50 i ever spent.
One of the tendencies when painting a roll cage is to use regular spray paint that is found on department store shelves.
A spray paint like rust o leum will work great as it has rust proofing capability built into it.
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.
Painting roll cages is a pain.
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.
At least not well anyway.
I once painted myself into a box on my dirt car chassis.
Just take your time and start from one end and work so that you can get away from the paint.
I too have used that.
This is a mistake if you want to protect the roll cage from deteriorating quickly.
