I'd thought about suggesting powdercoating, as I've recently had my
middle row seat supports and some other black painted interior bits
powder coated, and plan to have the front seat frames and seatbelt
mounts, as well as middle seat grab handle (SIII109) and doggy screen
powdercoated.
I didn't mention powdercoating because I have doubts about the
durability of powdercoating outside. If it gets nicked or wears through
(and it does, at sharp corners), then water gets under and it rusts and
peels of in sheets. I also thought it might be slippery, but maybe
powdercoating can be done with a grippy finish.
After seeing the contact corrosion between my steel rear seat mounts and
the aluminum body last night, I'm a believer in powdercoating parts like
this (interior) and prepainting the fasteners, to try to minimize
corrosion. Note I said "try" and yes everyone, I understand the
fasteners will conduct between the steel and au etc.. etc....
If you did powdercoat the wing protectors and found them slippery, you
could go with strips of black grip tape.
