They look smart! I like the shape. I'd add a third brace in the middle but that's probably overkill.

not 100% sure yet I think I will weld a box section on and then slightly smaller section to go inside then they can be removed if need be and the main piece can be powder coated with out having to weld it and ruin the finish, will post more pics as I progress

Anyone any ideas of what's best to coat them in, powder coating or just paint them I suppose they need to be repairable for when they get scratched so paid might be a better option ?

Any thoughts people ?

I'd go for paint every time on something that will get scraped and scratched. You often see powder coat peeling off in sheets where it has been damaged and rust has got in behind it.
