No, you can't see it from the rear, it's mounted up through the rear subframe. You can see the ends of it through your wheels , just above the brake rotors, but only if you look for it or have really open wheels. Power coating would be a waste of money, unless you are concerned about it rusting, then just paint it.
was just curious
I have the H&R and it was colored almost brownish. To make it stand out from the wheel well, I painted the outer parts up to where the bushings with bright red 2 part epoxy polyamide. Just light sand the area to be painted to improve adhesion of the paint. Epoxy is as tough as thermoset powder coat. It's been 1.5 years without flaking.
