Topic: paint and pad the cage? or leave bare for inspection?

Should we paint and pad our cage?  or leave it bare for safety tech inspection?   Thanks

you need it padded to pass tech.  I would also suggest painting the cage since they rust pretty quickly.

okay thanks... I understood the padding requirement...  but didn't know if I was going to waste a lot of time installing it if those parts would need uncovered again during the inspection

I was told to paint it when we were at our first tech, so I guess the sooner, the better.
