Hi Porkchop,
Good to meet you face to face at last....
I thought I was going to be in trouble with the missus for being late back.... (she bought herself some flowers with my money of course).
Hi David, yes they are powder coated. I'm close to a local powder coating firm and the price I paid for the powder coating I couldn't even buy the paint for if I was going to spray them.
I did think about carbon wrapping at one point so that's still an option for the future if the powder coat doesn't hold up.
