Yeah POR15 is for treating rust, but i've always grinded metal bare before painting it anyway. Will be sweet as on any bare metal, just make sure to read the instructions for best application etc.

I'm sure it would be sweet as for a cage as unless you leave it in the sun 24/7 the paint won't be affected too much by the sun. Even if it is affected it just slightly discolours, no loss of quality.

Not sure why por15 is the site address as they have many products, including spray equipment.

I have 1L of black in the garage ready for my next project, bloody good stuff!

Freshly painted starlet floor (still wet) it lost a bit of its shine when dry but still looked mint. 8)

Yes u can bazda. If u only want the cage powder coated u must mask of everything u dont want coated. We usually coat the cage and interior the same colour so the coater just goes nuts and coats every thing.
Here is a pic (not a good one) of the v8's we had done.
