Default Roll bar coating

Have an RSS roll bar en route, raw, considering finishing options.

Not looking to draw a lot of attention to this, so thinking something in the flat/black spectrum. Looking for suggestions on what looks good, wears well, cost effective, etc.

- powdercoat?
- textured?
- flat vs gloss?


Heck, even bedliner may be an option. What's the consensus on what looks good in a modern car with black stock interior (996 GT3). Big Bird Yellow exterior.

Thanks in advance for suggestions. Need to line up finishing in time for May track events...

Cheers

Matt

You have a GT3? Nice move.
I'd go with a satin black, get it done by a body shop before installation if possible.
I hear it's a challenge fitting into the car so be careful you don't damage the new paint.
See you at Tremblant late May? You really ought to join us at Cups some day.

Yup, last season was a bust. See you at LCMT in May for 3 days!

Laminated with Hello Kitty stickers. I mean, come on Matt, it's a yellow car. You might as well surrender and go all the way.

Mine is powder coated flat black. You can see it at Andrew. Done locally in St-Hubert. He also does other finishes. Andrew has his card

Yes. Dehydrated dipping sauce is the powder. The only colour option is brown, but they deliver (in Quebec).

Thanks Matt for the one serious answer so far.

Thanks Matt for an answer as juvenile as I would come up with. Respect.
