I have an shiny allow Bullbar and when the sun hits it at the right angle, it shines directly in my eyes.

the old man put a bit of matt black on a hilux bar once, that worked well, black cloth tape worked also.

Dunco

Take it off and get it powercoated wont shine in your eyes and a lot easier to look after no more polishing
or just use a scotchbrite pad tape up the bit you want to paint scratch it up the bit you want to paint so the paint can key to the alloy and get a matt black p/pak and put 2 or 3 light coats on letting it dry between coats and it should be fixed

Scotchbrite is the go, they use them to give stainless steel the 'brushed look'.

A strip or two of Gaffa tape on the back side of the bar where your getting the glare from will do the trick.
