Does anyone have a detached garage with heat I could paint my cage/interior in? I bought a bunch of the Rustoleum epoxy paint, which needs several days at ~70f to cure, but my cage is taking longer than anticipated and is now too cold outside.

We at Duff Industries have a few spaces. There's junk currently in all of them, 'tho. I'll check tomorrow. Roger should be done playing carpenter so we can get the stuff out of the center bay. (unless Charles already has a corvette in there.)

You guys are okay with me using about 15 rattle cans of paint in there?

It wouldn't be the first time. :-) There's a "paint booth" out back for that, but there's no heat in it, and you can't leave anything in it. (no locks)

We ended up having much warmer weather than I thought so I did it in my driveway:

Looks great actually!

Having painted a few roll bars, I know how much of a paint it can be.

Looks good!

Thanks. Does anyone have a suggestion on how I can paint the inside of my gussets? I tried to spray some paint in there but ended up creating drips.

Brush?

The ratio of dimple die hole to gusset is going to make it hard to reach with a brush. My current plan is to mask of everything but the openings to the gussets, put the spray paint tip in one end, and a dowel in the opposite side, and then rotate it around to blast everything.

Awesome. I am ordering a can of that stuff. I also have a $10 ebay borescope I can put to good use to check coverage.
