    paint em. powder coat sets like a stone and with flexible thin metal like molds i can see it shattering or cracking then lifting. you'll probably mark them putting them back on and paint is easy to touch up. id think that powder would go on too thick also so they might give you grief getting them to fit. no doubt powder is stronger and has it's place.... on play equipment and machinery imo

    Ditto. Powder coating is fine for big solid components under the car but this is a flimsy piece of trim in a prominent position. You may be able to match the colour but the texture and appearance will look different.
