    You can buy some home powdercoating kits for around 150 bucks.

    'I found one HERE' (http://tinyurl.com/4hd2d) for a little less than
    that, that only requires you to have an air compressor.

    If you don't want to cough up that kind of dough, you could just sand
    down and primer your frame and then spray paint and finish it for about
    20 bucks.

  4. There are companies that specialize in powder coating. Googling "Fort
    Collins powder coat" brought up three companies under "local listings"
    near me.

  5. I discovered a powder coating shop 5 minutes from my house. You
    probably have one local to you too.

    This may seem a bit archaic, but carefully, slowly, walk away from the
    keyboard, and ask you mom where the "Yellow Pages" is located (old
    fashioned version of google). After she finds it hidden behind the
    cookbooks, blow off the dust and look up "Powder Coating."

    ps.... although old books often have yellowish pages, this book actually
    came that way.

    You're welcome.

  6. catboy-how to you cure the sstuff you powder coat? put it in the oven? i
    don't think a coker frame would fit in an over. Best bet is you find an
    automotive paint place or similar(using yellow pages/local.google) and
    see what they'll charge. If you aren't super picky about the color you
    can get it done really cheaply with whatever else they're doing that
    day.
