I had mine powder coated satin black.  I also had the mounting plated done in the same color/ sheen.  The wiring sleeves are wrapped in satin tubing as well.  The clamps are Joker Machine.  I had the backs re-chromed and installed new face plates.

Powder coating for these few pieces wasn't that much... I'm guessing around $20 at most.  But, if you're looking to save money, there are definitely other, less expensive options.
