Powdercoating Axys Running Boards?

It makes the glue stronger once it cools again, just make sure it’s properly supported so nothing shifts while it’s cooking and the glue is soft.
Low heat coating for sure, we use Lords,420dp and such a LOT with boats imho I would NOT heat them to 400 to coat. May or may not come apart, and the coating guys are not going to clamp and support it, its going to get hung in a rack and shoved in a oven, it comes apart, not there problem

Umm the running board ends are riveted and slide into a socket.
It’s not going to move, much less come apart.
Just coat the stupid things.
(Cures the boot shredding business)
Me personally, I'd recommend against a gloss finish. Had a really hard time staying on my buddy's boards last year with a gloss finish and he said he would never do it again.

Anyone ever done powdercoating with a little bit of texture in the finish - almost like an undercoating look to it?

Hmm, I don't think I've ever seen it but that's an interesting idea. Not sure if they can do it. Anything is possible with enough money though!! Haha.
Yes textured Powdercoat is pretty common.
Often it’s two tone.
Pick your poison, snow buildup from texture or gloss powder.
(Personally glossy powder worked excellent for my running boards)
Add a couple traction screws in the rear bracket.

It’s what b&m fab sends out with their running boards.
I’ve built several sets and used them.
Pre drill and screw in a test piece of aluminum to find the right pilot bit. (Too small and they snap off)
