My girlfriend's father does powdercoating here in LA. If anyone wanted to set it up with me, you could mail me the pieces, and i'll have him powdercoat and send the pieces back to you. he does it fairly cheap and he can do all colors including chrome. for smaller pieces it may be easy, i'm not sure for larger pieces (postage).
*an option for those who don't have powdercoating locally.
just an idea. PM me if you'd like.
