Lives in a hole
New car is coming shortly and it's gonna need some roof racks if I want to be able to get to the trails. I'm going to put the Thule wingbar edge on it but I'm really not a fan of the silver bars, so I want to make them black. Yeah I know there's other racks out there that are black, but there's reasons I'm going with these ones, so that's not going to change.
Question is, what's the best way to colour the bars? I know there's a powdercoating place that's pretty nearby that could do them, but my worry is that sort of finish is going to wear and chip if I'm sliding carriers in and out all the time. I figure anodizing will be tougher (pretty sure they're silver ano out of the box) but I'm not sure of anywhere to get that redone, or if it's going to be an expensive job.
If anyone's got any thoughts or suggestions of places to try that are in western Sydney / Hawkesbury, I'd love to hear them.
