I wouldn't bother sending anything back to sampson. Just drop them off at the local powder coaters and call it a day.

On something like that I'd either have them powdered locally with some other parts I'm usually doing or just hit them with some high temp wood stove or engine paint.

I installed them already and the only noticeable clamp is the second one in the rear run. I already used the DK coil relocation kit, if I hadn't you wouldn't see it. I'll get some brush on stove paint, I'm gonna need some touch up anyway. The ceramic coating scratches very easily.
