paintin subframe connectors

I am about to order subframe connectors from Spohn's website. I was wondering if it's worth the extra $45 to have him paint them. Or, should I take them to a local shop and have them apply paint? I was thinking of maybe having undercoating put on them or something.

Thanks!
Bill

Will undercoating burn off when it's welded?

Thanks,

I powdercoated my SSM SFC's and then after I welded them in I sprayed undercoating on the weld joints

My Alston SFC's were powder coated black. After they were welded I just touched up the welds w/ some heavy duty black semi gloss. I havent had any trouble.
