Yeah, powdercoating is definitely the better choice. However, even PC'ing will show scratches and marks. That's inevitable. I'm starting to think that leaving them as is, even though they are the only silver piece on the car currently, is the best way to go. I'd hate to have 2 running boards down the side of the truck showing all these marks and scratches, while the rest of the car is perfect. Thoughts?
And I agree with the anodized look. It wouldn't be the same.
