Default Powder Coated Rocker Panels

I had my rocker panels powder coated and I highly recommend it. They came out looking great and they will not chip easily. I had both of them done for a total of $30. What a bargain.

I was going to get mine powder coated but the metal finisher swore blind that they weren't clearcoated but were clear anodised (that explained why I couldn't remove the "clearcoat"!). So I had them stripped & then anodised black. They look fantastic. The dye used in anodising has a habit of getting bleached in sunlight (red, blue & gold certainly does) so I'm going to see if the black does as well. It does look good though :D
