Powder Barons in Middletown is pretty popular. A few guys in the club have used them with great results. http://www.powderbarons.com

To each his own, but I would just rattle can it.
Powder coating will eventually chip and flake and is much harder to touch up than paint.
Just my $.02.

But powder coat looks so much cooler
Dumb Question When you say rattle can you just mean spray paint right -

Yes, I mean spray paint.

so you think just to paint it rather than powder coat it? IS powder coating pretty pricey?
-
it can be. you have to use a place that can take an item of that size. you can expect anywhere between $50 and $175 for it. they have to bead blast, coat, and then bake it.
rattle can can look great if you do the prep correctly. hit all the sharp edges with a flapper wheel, cheese cloth it, and then hit with a self-etching primer. once that is dry put on the coating of your choice - 3 or 4 light coats are better than one heavy coat.

If you do decide to do powdercoating then I too recommend Cory at Hard Color (follow link in Ed's post). I've had 9 things coated by him in the past month and all of it looks perfect!

I don't like the Broncos but the Orange does look sharp.

the powdercoating is pretty durable...eds stuff (themistaken) has help up pretty well. diff covers take a beating but if you are a return customer ill hook you up on repair stuff! spray paint wont hold up for a second if you decide to pressure wash

very true

Instead of starting a new thread I'll pick up with this one. I'm going to finish up my front bumper tomorrow and want to get it powder coated. Who is the person to go to? I live in Newark. I saw 2 different people mentioned in this thread.
