I would highly recommend powdercoating over paint. It's just way tougher. I got alot of parts done at Like Nu coatings in Hollywood FL. www.likenu.org the price was way below any other place on the web specializing in coatings, color match was perfect, finish was like gloss paint. They'll give you a free email quote. They do all the prep work too. If you are thinking of doing some do-it-yourself powdercoat, DON'T. the professional processes provide better adhesion and bake it alot hotter than you could. Powdercoat should last indefinately.
