Anyone had their t-top roof bar powder coated black?

I'm doing a complete repaint of my 89 TA and the roof bar needs replacing due to rust. *** a nice one to replace it but there is some surface rust in a couple of places and the top part (visible part between the rooof panels) is scratched and will look bad once I have the new paint and new weatherstripping.

I can have the whole thing powder coated but as the middle piece is not painted originaly but instead have some sort of plastic coating I wonder what it will look like if I do powder coat the whole thing and also of course will this last (thinking of exposure to the elements like sun and rain....)

Thanks

Yes you can. just strip it all down to bare metal.

Powder will hol dup just fine in the elements

 

Great, thanks! The guys I typicly use always media blast the parts and they turn out great. Was just worried it would not last as the part is exposed to the elements.

I've had a number of parts coated already (complete flip up headlights units etc) and they all came out great.

 

since my car was painted 9700 black i paintded my bar base clear and the cowl base clear. i basicly removed all satin off the car exept for the handles and window trim.

it looks bad azz shiny.

thanks
