Silver. Nice a bright inside and easy to match.

I did think that but part of me wants it look like it has been painted if you know what I mean rather than just a stripped look. Part of me thought white as its really clean. I am just not sure

That does look really good part of me wants to paint it white I am just thinking whether it will go with a silver car ?
Plus my cage will be bright green so it needs to go with that as well haha

White goes with everything

 

[Ben NBR Cup]

This is very true I am steering towards white
I must admit yours looks really nice
The other option was gun metal grey ?

I painted mine silver to start with but thought it was a bit bright so changed it to anthracite.

Now that's made it difficult for me because that looks really good as well
What cage is that out of a matter of interest ?

 

[M.C..]

It's a Safety Devices cage.
The anthracite is a good colour it does not show the dirt, I am planning on painting the cage over winter so may give the interior another coat but lacquer it this time.
this is what I used iirc it took about 2 1/2 cans http://www.halfords.com/motoring/pa...s/halfords-wheel-paint-anthracite-spray-500ml

 

[Ben NBR Cup]

It's a nice cage
Was the finish good with the spray can, it looks good from the pictures. Part of me was going to spray it at work where we have a spray booth and do it like that but if you can get a good finish with a spray can I might give it a go.
Did it take much prep or was it mask up and paint ?

 

[M.C..]

I was happy with the finish.
Not much prep I just scuffed it up with a scotch pad panel wiped it and tack rag, masked everything up and sprayed.
If I get chance tomorrow I will get a better photo.

That's not too bad i might give it a go see what happens. Did you have to have a heat lamp on it to let it dry or did you just leave it to air dry ?
That would be great thank you

Whatever you do dont be tempted to use hammerite, its crap.

I just let it air dry

Don't know if they are better but the car is full of stuff so could not get a full photo

That has come out really good nice clean finish. I have a few more weeks to decide on the colour because I am tidying the wiring up at the minute and then I need to decide but to be honest mate that is a really nice colour and looks smart

Mines silver with a white inside and it looks good mate. Just gets a little dirty quicker that's all!

 

[StuOwen86]

I'm thinking of painting the inside of my tack car after seeing some good job's just need to either fully strip it out or paint from the seats/B pillars back and mask everywhere up.

Go for full strip out and paint it I took 200kg out of mine it needs to be done

 

[StuOwen86]

the rear end is fully striped out just debating on the front carpet and dash etc but I do still use it on the road a few times a week.

I did have the rear stripped out for a while until I put the car on a diet. It depends how far you want to go I know when I checked my carpet it was 11kg there is a lot of weight to be removed but the big question is can you live with all the extra noises it will make haha. If it makes any difference mine will be used on the road but will pretty much be track based. I wouldn't do it if it was your daily drive haha

 

[StuOwen86]

Nah not a daily drive lol just now and again for nipping shops etc.

Go for it mate make yourself a race car for the road
The worst case is if you don't like it just put it back in I had the same thought as you but now I have taken it out I was shocked at the amount of weight that came out I would do it

 

[Joe S]

I'll get some posted up mate

Thank you very much it will be nice to see one done I haven't seen one yet haha
