Any ideas for painting just the roll cage. I just sprayed the Baja inside and out. Trying to spray all the roll cage parts was a pain in the ##%^%$.
Now just to add more work I would like to paint just the roll cage Black. I was thinking of taping and masking off around the bars and use a paint roller. Something like this. I don't think trying to spray will work as I cannot get under some of the cage bars.

Foam brush or small paint brush are your 2 options I think.

Either method isnt really going to look real good, but may be the only way to get coverage. Maybe try it and if your not happy with the way it looks, hit it with some spray bomb undercoating to give it an even texture (and maybe it wont hurt as bad when you bang your head on it!)
