Are you wanting to repaint your cage?

More good info from Sal:-
Can I repaint my budgie's cage?

Yes you can, but you need to be careful of the type of paint you use. What you need to look for is non-toxic, child-safe paint (sometimes referred to as "crib safe"). It is usually available in either brush-on or spray-on varieties. When you do repaint, you must make sure you are in a much ventilated area - it is best if it can be done outside. You should plan on applying at least two coats of paint for good coverage allowing time for the paint to thoroughly dry between coats.

Hi guys

Remove old paint from the cage bars with a sandblaster. Scrub the cage bars with a wire brush if you do not have a sandblaster and would rather not rent one. Leave no paint behind, otherwise your new paint layers will peel off.
Clean off any rust with a steel wool pad soaked in white vinegar.
Clean the cage with a bleach and water solution, then rinse thoroughly with a garden hose. Allow the cage to dry.
Lay down a drop cloth or sheets of newspaper either outside or in a well-ventilated indoor area. Place the cage on top to avoid accidentally painting anything else.
Shake a can of spray primer well, put the nozzle up to the cage bars and spray a thin layer of primer on the bars. Cover all of the bars--inside, outside, top and bottom. Make sure there is no bare metal. Allow the primer to dry according to the manufacturer's directions.
Spray on a thin layer of nontoxic VOC-free spray paint in the same manner. Allow the paint to dry according to the manufacturer's directions. Apply two or three more thin layers of paint.


Thanks
