Wouldn't paint before installed have worked better?

Welding would have destroyed the paint and, perhaps, compromised the joints.

I want to paint it myself, that's why i did not have the shop get it done. Some things i can't do, like build the bar and weld it in place. Painting on the other hand is no problem.
