I'll check with my supplier and see what he says about it. Don't see why not except that I'd assume these will rust at some point.
Paint doesn't hold that great on a torsion bar. The powder coating is a better idea. I wouldn't buy a bare one myself.

How to Identify New Sway-Bar Permanently
What about marking it physically (stamped or engraved with model (RTS) and size (15mm))? This way there can NEVER be an issue with which sway-bar is the improved/modified one versus stock.

No question that the bar would need to be powder coated. The idea being the individual could have it coated whatever color they wanted. Though this could also be done to a bar that was coated as well. My concern would be that someone would put a bare bar on their Spyder and then tell someone that it came from me!

I was kind of afraid of that same thing...
Unless... Some sort of arrangement could be made when somebody buys a bare one; it gets shipped to the powdercoater of choice, who works out the billing with the buyer of the bar??

So J.D......
I'd have to see one to come up with a firm price. My oven isn't real large, however I do use an ultra violet heater on some larger items. The shipping would be a consideration also. Powder coating isn't too difficult on most parts, the prep of the part is very important. Check out Eastwood Company.

The size of my Sway Bar will be identical to the OEM bar as far as any powder coating process is concerned.

Ron here are my top three choices
1.......Orange
2.......Candy Orange
3.......any combination as long as it is orange
To powder coat these bars here is 35.00 pretty cheap really, but I still vote for Orange. There said my 2cents.

Is the sway bar visible?

No delivery date yet as we have to go through the tooling and prototype stages. But since we've already done this once with the RS Bar I'm hoping things will progress more quickly with the RT Bar.
I will post more updates as I get more information.
Now, what color should I make the RT Bar?

Gloss black powder coat for me. If Ron has too stock several colors his cost is going to be much higher resulting in higher prices for us. Black will match any Spyder since it's all black under the frunk anyway.

I have not yet decided if I will make this bar with 1 or 2 mounting options. I am leaning heavily towards the single mount point for a few reasons. First, it will increase the price of the bar to get a 2nd mounting point. Not a huge deal if it is a feature that people will use. 2nd, I am pretty sure people are not going to switch from one mount option to the other. Most will put the bar on and never touch it again. 3rd, I think that almost everyone is going to choose the stiffer setting. Afterall, that's what a custom sway bar is all about.
Since a sway bar is completely neutral in straight ahead riding it will not 'Stiffen' up your ride in the normal sense of the term. It is only going to work when you need it, in turns. Even if you're crusing down the freeway you never know when you might need to make an evasive manuver to miss some road debris or dodge another vehicle. That is when you're going to be very glad you've got the sway bar set properly.
The test riding will help me make my final decision on multiple mounting points.
