Question How Do I Paint Roll Cage

Ok Its Not In the Car Yet
But How Do I Paint It ?
Like What Type Of Paint Should I Use ?
Should I Sand Or Something ?
Primer ?
I Want It To Be Red Or Black

P.S. If I Can Do It At Home I Would Like Powder Coat But I Dont Even Know What Powder Coat Is Just Seen It

Quick, Easy And Best Way To Paint?

Advance does not sell VHT, I get mine from a local engine shop, but you could use any paint, krlon is pretty good and holds up well
