Painting the roll cage
« on: September 06, 2016, 10:05:59 AM »
Hey all,

Thinking about painting my roll cage. Has anyone done this? If so how did ya just do a light scuff with scotch bright or did ya get a lil more aggressive? Please share some pics if ya have them. Thinking about maybe going with a silver or aluminum color to break things up a little.

I have not done it on a CF Moto but I have on other SxS.  And yes you are right in saying just scuff it down well and clean all the dust and grease/oils off with a paint prep cleaner and go for it.  Its not as strong as the powder coating that is on there now and you may need to touch it up if you rub a tree but that also is not the end of the world.
I can imagine a world completely at peace.  A world where there are no weapons, no war, and no violence at all.  And I can imagine us taking over that world because they would never expect it.

Thanks chuddly. I have not ruled out getting it blasted and powder coated yet. That just may be what happens this fall/winter
