Anyone interested in a roof rack colour swap?

Yeah, tried that one too!

They said that it would have had to be done when it was new and even though mine are in perfect condition, they are not right for a new car.

My next option is to approach strangers in the street with Octavias and asking if they want to swap!

Powder coating? It should stand up to roof racks.

Perhaps try a dealership - see if they wanna swap some on a 77/90 they have in stock? Just to make it look a little less base-model!

it works well!

The problem is that best as I can tell, they are mostly plastic. I thought powder coating only worked on metallic surfaces.

Pretty sure the main body is metal.
Don't quote me, though!!

from what i remember, the main body is metal and the bolt covers are plastic.

Just had a closer look at mine and that is correct. I think I'm just going to Plasti dip them black for now and use my wife's Sorento when we need the roof racks!

I'll do the grille, mirrors and rear badges while I'm at it too. I'll get the wheels powder coated properly though.

Hey guys - sorry for slightly hijacking this thread... I'd be up for a swap with anyone with black rails in Sydney who want Silver from my 118TSi wagon. PM me!
