I'd say that's both innovative and good looking. It makes a reasonable cost refresh pop (based on your photos). My only issue with powder coat is usually the thickness that is used (almost always too much). But I've seen nice PC as well, so I think I may need to get yet another new PC'er.

For the areas where your paint is masking against the PC, did you leave a little overlap, or how was that treated? It does look sweet from photo distance.
