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.

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

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.

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.
