mine was originally anodised, i bought it partially stripped. i painted mine with chrome paint then a candy red, got quite close to the colour of a set of anodised se maxi power bars.

If you're going paint, I took my seat to a local car paints shop, and they matched the colour perfectly and made me up a tin of 2 pack gloss. I then sent it to Superbike Dan with my frame and he waved his magic wand. Perfect!
