Painting the cage was a debate amongst myself, the crew chief, and the builder. I lost!!
The cage is pro stock inspired most of them are bare, and we all know what piles of junk those are 
With the swings in temp around here I have condensation problems in the garage and in the trailer. A bare cage would be rusted in a month without paint. Good luck with it, looks some very nice work. 
Try that in florida
I agree with ya Jim
Car looks great
Car looks awesome....wipe the cage down with OSPHO and it won't rust and look awesome ta'boot
Now go race that thing

Hey Bill, I had a great time with you Steve & Ted. Below is a link of photos that I took yesterday. I will make you a full file photo disc and leave it with Rob / RJ Fabrication . Your car is badd ass and I believe that you have a 9 second car that you can have tea & crumpets while driving down the strip. Anyway, I think that you are a great guy and wish you all the luck.

WOW! Bill, I think that bigdad is on to something. Gibbs sounds great! I might change from the Bosheild to the Gibbs. 
Hey bigdad, how long have you been using Gibbs and what time frame between applications? With Boshield I have to re apply it every 6 mos to a year...

In Socal, you might be able to go a couple years , maybe more ..
People have reported many cases of 5 plus years without retreating
Try it , you will be sold, guranteed.
