Another thought that looked interesting. Somewhere recently, I saw a
DIY powder-coating that might do the trick. Friends had their frame
done professionally and liked the results. What I recall of the process
reminds me of a fired ceramic finish: Very tough and thick.


Do you have more information on the DIY powder-coating? I've got a
few things I'd like to try it on.


Hope someone else saw it. As I recall, it was an ad from somewhere.

When I googled powder coat paint, the Northern Industrial in the link
below seemed to be similar to what I remember, and there were some
other interesting links. Sorry that it probably wraps 7 times....
