That color is awesome. Good work it looks to of came out how you wanted. I'm thinking of doing something similar. I wonder how much it would cost to have it sprayed "professionally".
I'm looking for one too. I heard the newer entry level Yakima and thule are so flimsy and the locks are near pointless. I've heard really good things about late 90s and earlier 2000s were made much more sturdy, they are cheaper on Craigslist and look better... Imo
