Default Powder over anodize

Bought a fuel rail that came clear anodized. Thinking of doing it a "anodized red" powder color. Can I just clean and shoot right over the clear anodize?

yes u can. anodizing is actually a recommended pre-treatment by some of the big powder manufacturers. I do it all the time. just did a bunch of parts today that had clear anodizing.

Awesome I am excited

Do you think if I used a "transparent purple" or "anodized red" powder that it'd look good and somewhat reflective over a clear anodized fuel rail?

it depends on how the AL looked before the anodizing. if the part was polished before the anodizing it will look good. if the part was cast, brushed & then anodized then no it won't look so good.
