Also talked to a couple of powdercoaters in the Baltimore area, and I'm a little discouraged. One had a minimum price of $135 and the other had a minimum of $150. If I can't find a place any cheaper than that, looks like I'll be pulling out the rattlecans. One benefit to that, though, is that I can be as creative as I want, adding panels designs and such, without it costing a lot extra.
