    If you are worried isocyanates and 2-pack you can get "isocyanate free" 2-pack acrylics - not quite as glossy/durable as polyurethane but not bad for a rollcage.

      i am guessing you have already had this cams checked or whatever? IIRC cages need to be inspected before painting?

        por15 / kbs works good for a strong and okay looking finish.

        Mine was a bit of an abortion due to shit brushes losing heaps of bristles and KBS not sticking to the 2 buck enamel the cage guy put on there.

          I used killrust with a brush and did a pretty rookie job.

          So don't do this.

            Not necessary.

              It can be painted for CAMS, but must not be painted for ANDRA.

                Lads thanks for all the help. It took me about 30 hours in the end. I brushed on the undercoat (killrust product) after 20 hours of sanding and it went on really well, not one brush mark, good product. Then used the same brand in rattle cans due to time constraints and I'm happy enough with the results.

                  Crunt of a job.

                  Used a brush to get colour over undercoat where the cage sat near the roof or other solid items.

                  Hard part is getting full coverage under the bars.

                      Fuck that, my back's still sore. Agreed under and over was tough. Trickiest bit on mine was the outside surface of the bar next to the rear 1/4 windows. Lucky turps cleaned the glass easily.

                                Question for the OP.

                                What is each layer colour i.e. what is the green, white, black and blue? How much time between each layer/coat?
