Painting a cage

Post by tobyneilson » Sun Oct 10, 2010 12:17 pm

I picked up a really nice large cage from a carboot today,anyhow it has a bit of rust on it and was considering painting it, not sure what will keep in it yet
Is there any type of paint i should use/avoid?

Is it wood or metal?

PS...For you in the States...a car boot is like a garage sale.

Is a mettle cage
A decent size to keep around 3 pairs of Zebs in(but they would be pet birds and not for breeding)

I have tried flat black and green on the wire and really prefer black.
Just a thought
