yep. clean well and give it a light rub with 600 grit wet / dry hit it with supercheap etch primer (nothing else is nearly as good in any price range) than a good coat of decent 2 pac and you will be sweet

IMHO the alloy bar is only fit for temporary use anyway, because only a steel bar will actually provide worthwhile off-road protection.

That's not to say it's not worth painting for looks in the meantime, but I'd be looking out for a steel one anyway.
This is not legal advice.
