He did offer to paint it.

How about a powder coat?  Incredibly durable and looks great IMO.  Anodizing would be another cool look

I've been wondering about powder coat for something myself  -- geez. How does one go about getting that done?

You select one of these kits, and the desired color(s), and bingo! you're a powder coater.

Depending on size, Peter is right - you could buy a kit and do it yourself, as long as you have an oven large enough and will get to temp.

Personally, I would do a search for Powder Coating in your areas - I have seen several around here that can handle much larger pieces.

Here is one I found when I did a Google search for your area...

A cheap, reliable and easy finish to check out would be Duracoat. It's primarily sold as a firearms finish, but it will work on any type of metal surface. It's a tough polymer finish that is chemically hardened with a reagent so it doesn't need to be baked on and it's available in lots of colors. Fairly cheap, too.

How about temperature? I'm thinking roasting, here.

Thanks much for the dogpile of help!

Some of Eastwood's powder stuff is meant for hi-temp applications like engine exhaust manifolds.

This site talks about hi-temp coatings that stand up to 1000degF.
