Powdercoat it, more durable and probably cheaper.

It's not a high wear area, so either should be okay. FWIW, my Night Train came from the factory with the dash face and housing painted black, and it seems to be holding up just fine.

Here's a powder coated dash, beautiful AND durable. \\; BTW - the dash on the Night Train is factory powder coat.

I'm amazed you can get that kind of surface uniformity with powder coat. Very nice.

 \\;Look at the HD low profile dash. Then powder coat it. I think that would look bad azz. \\;Powder coating lasts longer and is more durable.
