Arrow Roll cage color

ok so i just bought a 4 point roll cage and want to paint it but cant decide on what color to go with

1. Bronz/gold - To match my wheels

2. HKS Purple - because it looks ballin

3. Black - matches with the car.

if you know of another color let me know, i just cant decide.


anyways here is my car, and the interior is all black.

I would personally go black since it blends in with the interior and gives it a sleeper look. But then again, I am not the type who likes everyone to see what I am running either.

Besides that I would go with the HKS purple. The gold/bronze would be a no-no for the interior in my opinion.

if you don't like just straight gold look into a hammer tone gold. i had it powder coated on a custom harness bar for my scion xa. try something like that or the black to hide it.

If it was a cage that served a purpose i would say black with appropriate padding but since its for show and you just want people to see you have a cage then make it flashy.

You may want to choose a color that matches the current or future performance mods on your car. For example, my 2Gen RX-7 has red seat trim, belts, sway bars, and fuel cell, so the roll cage was painted red.


My 1Gen RX-7 had blue seats and belts, so I went with a blue cage. (The new owner changed the exterior color from black to white, and the magnetic numbers from blue to black).


You may also want to search the internet for pictures of cars that you like, and see which color scheme you prefer for your car. For example, my cars are based on 1980s race colors, while you may prefer something different.
