well its not easy. the best thing i can tell you is to break all the laws of painting. i had to make a pretty much round pattern and barely pull the trigger to get my cages to look good. this car is a candy orange and it was the biggest PITA ever! i just turned each bar into 5 flat surfaces and did it one bar at a time. i had to crawl in and out and around. i used coat hangers screwed to the ceiling to keep my hose off the bars use very slow reducer obn the base. by the time you get to the clear you will have the hang of it. remember that its just paint and you can always try again.
