check my pics link, my are black, not powder coated but they are black, I went with a cheaper solution to see how long it would last then maybe powder coat later. Aircraft stripper to get the finish off, prime like crazy, black rustoleum like crazy, worked for me! Holds up so far, couple of months with only a couple of touch ups
