looks good. if you had had them powder coated, you would have needed a high temp coating, as most powder will not withstand temps over 250* for extended periods of time after they are cured. you can get powder that will last at extended temps of 450* and then ceramic coating will get you to 1600*+

You might say I'm a little anal but if you do something, do it right. And yes, I win my share of shows...Been at it for over 45 years!
