Who painted their Racingline Rear Sway Bar?

After so many delays (both Racingline/OOS & Myself), I finally ordered it and they shipped it last night.

Did you paint you Rear Sway Bar?

I'm thinking about painting it Red with VHT Caliper Paint but I'm not sure if it's Winter or it's me but every year after Winter my Caliper's paint break apart. Any other method/paint to use so this doesn't happen with the RSB? Thanks.

Get it powder coated. Although Im sure there is going to be some flex in the piece. Granted its meant to stiffen up your car, it has to absorb some stress and energy from the other components. Not sure that paint or even a powder coat will stay on all that well.

Not to be a jerk or anything like that, but why would you bother painting a rear sway bar? How often would you look at it for the color to actually matter?

For roadkill...

To each his own I guess.

The bar already comes with a polyester based powder coating so as far as resistance to elements your not going to get any better. Unless you simply want a different color visible from under the car, there isn't much point to applying another coating.

Any coating you do apply be sure scuff the outer surface with a fine grit sand paper then thoroughly clean the part before painting. Apply the paint in thin even coats and make sure to allow enough time to cure. Applying a clear coat will add to its chip resistance of your color coat

Okay, I guess I won't bother. LOL

Install question...

I getting my Mechanic to install it, PITA for me to DIY. I do drive aggressive.
