I got around to painting my roll bar today. From black to silver. I didn't remove the bar from the car because it was too time consuming. I striped everything off the bar, taped, masked and covered every thing. I used old sheets to cover every inch of the car. Because it was so little paint, I had the bodyshop put the color in a can $15. So I sprayed the basecoat with the can and then used my gun to shoot the clear ( I had that left over from painting my bumper).

It took me about 4 hrs to complete the whole project. From the pics the roll bar looks a little dull. That is just the way the cammera was picking up the light. It is very shiny in real life.

I think it really looks good with the rest of the silver on the car.
