NFE Running Board options

[tekbroker]

I have scoured this forum and online for running boards that would be a good color match for a NFE.
As far as the form-factor goes, I haven't seen a set of running boards I like as much as the factory version. The only issue is the color matching as the wife doesn't want the brushed chrome.

I want a set of running boards to match our NFE and was considering powder coating the factory running boards to match the color of the window framing.
I'm not super savvy with powder coating. Is that even an option on that type of material and can they work around the rubber?
Is that a viable solution?

I am open to other options that might look good on the Nightfall Edition.

Canadian Kia dealers have a black oem version of the running boards. Not sure if it’s the route to go with shipping and stuff but it is an option.there’s a Canadian dealer in this site selling the fancy cargo/3rd row seat back liners that also only available in Canada so I’m sure he could get the black running boards too.

That's very helpful thank you. Any idea how I can track this Canadian dealer down? I have looked online but can't find a picture of the Black OEM's

Calling around powder coating places. The rubber would need to withstand 400 degrees for 35 minutes. I called a few dealerships but nobody has that information. I might have to be the first test dummy because I don’t see paint withstanding the wear and tear down there

Yes they will get a lot of abuse from all the rocks and stuff that stick to peoples shoes. But if it works it’ll be good news for some people on here that have the nightfall and want all black with the oem boards.
