Hi noddy, how much and where??, will leave un laquared and run for a few months, then get it powder coated, or if priced ok, get it powder coated now.

I can get that sort of sized item beadblasted and colour powder coated for about £10.00 per part, "I don't need any paperwork mate" Its done on a as and when they are spraying that colour basis, so sometimes a bit of a delay.
Obviously I am to far away so have a look in your local Thompsons or Yellow pages, find a local company then take the part to them and have a chat with the man in the dirty overalls. Bet you can get a good result.
