Default Powdercoating Sway Bars?

Can sway bars be successfully powdercoated in a manner that will hold up to the torsional stress?

Yes they can and don't bother doing the front one unless you show the car and put mirrors underneath. Only the rear can be seen!

I bought a used Z06 and had Mike do it in red. Looks good. Cost around $80 I think.
