Painting GT4 cage

[champ19ns]

Has anyone done this?

I'm thinking to paint mine in the body colour - but should I be worried about rattles and squeaks upon refitting..

Anyone looked into this already?

I've always wondered if painting of the roll cage could of been specified when ordering new.

I am yet to find a picture of an OE cage painted..

Is it easy to get it out and in?

And to the question, I can't imagine that it will generate any squeaks on reinstallation.

Wasn’t the GT4 cage fitted by the OPC rather than the factory?

If so, the OPC might be the best contact

Someone did it here on PH. Blue car with cage painted yellow after delivery...
Can't recall the username...do a search?

Couldn't find it

I'll give the OPC a call and see if it's something they're willing to undertake for a reasonable cost

I think you'd need to be really careful in picking your colour looking at that.

Yeah - I prefer body colour on cages as opposed to a contrast colour

Thanks LaSource!

Hmm, something doesn't quite look right just not quite sure what

No worries - I could recommend a body colour cage as mentioned above.

The traditional cage colours on track Porsches tend to be black, white, and red iirc.
