You probably huffed two of those though. Paint goes on the rack, not in the bag.

Sorry. That would explain all the goofy looks I'm getting today for being blackfaced.

If you used a better color you could look cool like this guy.

I take it you have the entire truck taped off? How are you going about painting the cage while it's installed on the truck?

Yeah, there's lots of newspapers taped to the truck. It's tricky getting paint all the way around the tubes in the places where they're real close to the body - especially on the roof. The good thing is that I don't have to worry about overspray on the herculiner because it matches - another advantage to using flat black.

How would flat black applied with a brush do?

It's taking more paint than I thought. 3 cans just to put a single coat on.

That is what surprised me too about painting my cage. I used 3/4 of a gallon of car paint.

There is a lot of waste. I was reminded of this phenomenon when I painted my ladder rack.

Well, I've got some nice pics of the cage painted, and my new CB install.

Too bad my cable is out at the house and the bastages at Cox won't come fix it until Wednesday. I couldn't upload anything.

Damnit, i have been waiting for painted pics of this thing for 4 days now.

those dirty co#$suc#@ers at COCKS cable....

Maybe tonight. They say they need to send a cable and internet specialist over to troubleshoot. I told them the problem isnt that complicated...none of the jacks in the house work, meaning the problem is with the box outside. The f#%$#ing cable is dead....you don't need a godd$#%$ specialist to tell me that you stupid F#%#s.

GRRRR...

They will be giving us a credit for being out 3 days..

Here's a few pics with it painted. A couple bars are still bare because the rack tabs are getting welded on yet.

That looks ANGRY!

Plan on testing it out next week?

Looks good! Whats withe the R2D2 thingy on the hood?
