What colour to paint my roll cage?

[-Danman-]

Got the roll cage on order now but I'm still undecided on what colour to go for!

Down to 3 choices which are
- Inferno orange
- White
- same colour as the wheels (purpley/blue/grey)

Open to other ideas and if anyone has any photos of caged Inferno's that would be appreciated.

Here's a few photos of my car how it stands at the moment:

 

[Jekyll]

Inferno!

 

[-Danman-]

Inferno!

I'm just worried it'd look a bit much

 

[Matt W]

Black.

 

[Fletcher]

Black

 

[aucky]

Satin black

 

[MarkX]

White for a bit of contrast

 

[KitsonRis]

Match the wheels I would

 

[-Danman-]

This is my first choice I think, would rather the wheel colour than black tbh

 

[McGherkin]

Do that.

 

[Jekyll]

That was my second choice. Black might look a bit boring/hidden in a orange car.

 

[Jimbob 2705]

I'd go same colour as the wheels too,

Btw, back of your Clio looks amazing buddy! Is that a replica V6/Trophy spoiler?

 

[alexr19]

i did the one in the rb satin black. so glad i went for black i think anything else would have been abit much. so i vote black

 

[Goodj]

stickers.

Preferably of brands that are somehow relevant to the vehicle, but Mugen, TRD, NISMO, JK Tyres and Brabus are all perfectly acceptable too.

 

[ThomasBrentnall]

White.

 

[ilovewilly]

Gunmetal.

 

[Addicted]

White.

or Amphasite.

 

[Goodj]

Ampersand is for pros

I had a matte black cage in before and it was just too subtle imo.

I think sticker bombing it would be a bit OTT lol! If I could fit it in our tank I'd dip it the same as the engine bay though.

Cheers mate, it's a Trophy spoiler. And I need to redo the black wrap again as its just a photoshop in that photo and water got behind the real one!

 

[dangerous dave]

Black..

 

[Scrooge]

I really like the look of this car!

Tbh you only have two colours that will work. Inferno or the same colour as the wheels. Anything else with clash and it'll look w**k.

As you want something less subtle this time, I think inferno is the way to go.

 

[Knuckles]

Anthracite

Amphasite exploding into orange.

Flock it and put a boot carpet in if you have rear door cards still. Oem+

 

[Mr Plums]

What's all this amphasite bollax, have I missed something?

 

[Addicted]

What's all this amphasite bollax, have I missed something?

Yes

 

[Mr Plums]

Yes

Was it those wheels that were blue exploding into amphasite?

 

[Addicted]

Was it those wheels that were blue exploding into amphasite?

Nah, just the usual plebs thinking Anthracite was spelt Amphasite, and various concoctions of it

 

[Knuckles]

Was it those wheels that were blue exploding into amphasite?

Amphasite exploding into blue, come on! Lol.


But that's just it really haha

 

[Goodj]

Ampersand explode over Jewish Racing guld

I can't decide whether I like this though, different colour but same principle -

 

[Scrooge]

Well that looks good IMO.

What about the same colour as your wheels but add the second coat of inferno so it's more noticeable whilst still being subtle. Although I can't quit remember how intense the second layer of inferno is

 

[cat171]

Do it the same colour as the car, or white.

 

[Cub.]

White. But I would say that....

 

[-Danman-]

I thought I had made my mind up until I came back and saw your photos @Cub. White does look good!

@Scrooge I'm not sure how that would look tbh, I think the final stage is an orange/yellow pearlescent but might be wrong.

Black with a white pearlescent turns into a nice metallic grey so maybe the wheel colour plus orange pearlescent would go a brown colour?

 

[Addicted]

@Cub. 's is exactly why I suggested white imo, looks awesome.

 

[coverman]

Cages should really be light colours so they can easily be inspected for cracks etc.

 

[-Danman-]

I still use this 😂

 

[RMDavis]

Here's my setup!

I also colour matched the dash strips to match the cage...

 

[McGherkin]

That looks much better IMO.

 

[sparklesTHEpony]

Imo

Inferno Orange would blend together too well and would just be lost in a sea of orange. Leaving it looking like "just part of the car". So good but yawn.

The wheel colour black/blue option would look good but once again as it being such a dark colour to begin with and the interior not exactly being "bright" as it is. Once again it'll just get lost or if not slightly invisible. Once again "yeah cool but yawn"

White is the option ill go for. It colour matches your already black&orange set up perfectly. You'll be able to see and appreciate what is it. Wont be boring and it won't blend in. It'll be a separate part to your car which everyone will appreciate and comment on along with all your other tasteful mods.

But it's just an opinion and its your car!
