You should actually buy the bare metal version, there usually cheaper & because if you buy the powdercoated version then you will either have to strip, sand off the paint & primer on the subframes .. all the way down to the bare metal in order to weld them on your car
You cannot weld on top of paint, primer

I know this because I just did a full length subframe weld on my convertible.. i got the maximum motorsport XL version. Biiiiiiig difference from them stock " Toy Subframes " !
However I had to pay extra for the installer to be chipping & sanding the subframes down .. because i got the powder coated version.
problem i coulda avoided had i gone with the bare metal version & simply painted them myself right after install

Thats just cause they dont want ya saying "uh these are starting to rust whats up with that" then a replacement. I say paint em with what ever you want just dont paint the ends where its gonna be welded . Do that part after the welds cool. You have to do that on all welded subframe connectors. paint em with some primer and spray paint it will last believe me.
