Don't even bother with clear coat, just get a can of aerosol automotive paint from your local parts store. Wipe the bar down with laquer thinner first.

just spray it a few times whatever color you want I dont think anything will happen, maybe a few small chips from rocks and stuff.


p.s. my addco bar was black,

For your RSB you could paint it with the same stuff they line truck beds with. Its super durable and I painted my uh um civic's rsb with it and not a scratch on it.
