I don't think you need to powder coat it. I just cleaned mine with rubbing alcohol and gave it two coats of Rust-Oleum flat black protective enamel. After +3 months, it seems to be working fine.

Just get a can red paint. I'm working with NM to get the next batch done in Black, cause most the dealer techs won't even notice it when it's black. But it will be awhile before we could get them.
