What brand of cage?

If it is the G+P, there's some extra holes to fill before painting.

just a question. Where did you get the airsoft cage part?, and what happens to the rest of the SPAS?. I need airsoft SPAS parts, ie pistol grip, reciever and trigger group, anyone help?

To answer your question, Yes I would go with a base of silver then semi- flat black. It gives it a worn look. Thats my personal preference. On my PR I have a real SPAS cage that I left the original color. Again personal preference.

HA! I did the same thing and left mine the original "color" it came in. :)

I figured if it was good enough for Franchi, it was good enough for me. :)
