I just like the number.
When I was a kid a bought a 10 speed of a neighbor that had #2 all over it from the manufacturer, as I got older I liked lucky #7. So I put them together to be #27

?? They're NOS Chrome in perfect condition, why would I paint or powder these white? If I wanted white bars and post I would either find white ones or powder used ones.
