The price range I am seeing locally is $400-500 for stripping and good quality powder coating. I think I'd rather try either elbow grease and time, or might try the citristrip after reading about it. Seems pretty mild and with a bit of work sanding and wire-brushing the surface it should work for me. The Franklin pricing is pretty amazing for what they claim to do.
I have multiple projects floating around so I am in no hurry. With my luck, I'll never be able to remove the fixed cup anyhow...
