Well said CY.
Those choosing to ignore this advice do so at their peril.
I'm sure that the Europa Club Safety Representative and /or the PFA

If the tubes are steel, powder coating is o.k. Aluminum may not as the
fusing temperature may alter the strength and temper of the aluminum. FAA
will not approve aluminum to be powder coated for certified aircraft, so you
might do some checking before using this process.
