I have seen a few pictures here of some very nice weld in roll cage installations. But....how do you paint that sucker once it is in?

It seems like it would be pretty easy to paint the tubes before assembly/welding in the car

Not a chance. The welding conducts so much heat into the tubing and surrounding sheetmetal that just about everything near the weld site needs to be primed and painted. We even had the undercoating in the wheelwells catch fire a few times. (we removed the UC later)

On the otherhand, if you are using a pre-fab cage, then just paint it first. If you want a tight fitting custom cage, plan on painting.

regards,
david
