That's good to know.. but I suppose small items are easier/cheaper to have done.Powder coating is surprisingly cheap. I just had 2 hatches sandblasted and powder coated for $80 total. I was shocked how cheap it was.
and you don't ride underwater???My powdercoating experience is primarily with bicycles. I make bicycle frames and racks as a hobby and have had roughly 10 bicycles and 20 or 30 racks powdercoated.
