Good idea
Just checked with a powder coat place (what a coincidence!). They can do an anodized "silver" finish that looks very original, I have a sample that matches the clean spot on my crossover very closely. About $100, maybe a bit more, to bead blast and do the coating. Couple weeks' notice to get into their queue and they would need the parts for about a week. Sounds like an attractive option. If I'm gonna bother pulling off the parts and having them blasted clean, I suppose it's worth the extra $$$ to have them coated so they stay clean. The pictures show the sample they gave me, lying on the crossover. The color looks pretty close.
