Crossbar painting or powder coat

[Slatesride]

Has anybody painted or powder coated the aluminum portion of the Rivian crossbars? I want to make them black, however I am concerned about the thickness of paint or powder coating affecting the ability of the bars to adjust in length (sliding motion).
