I am very motivated to try this - will star making calls this week. Great info.

For what ever reason powder coating up here is super inexpensive.For example marquee brackets cost me about $3 each to do, coin doors are about $15 and control panel about $30. It's not even worth my time to rattle can anything other the bolts that tie it all together.
Made some calls today - I think for what I am looking to do the price is going to be reasonable.

I'm in Long Beach and looking to get a few items powder coated. If you don't mind me asking, what place(s) did you end up finding that has a good price? I began my search yesterday and so far found a couple places, but eventually ended up finding out that they only do business-to-business jobs.
Okay, so here is the place I found:
Nu-tec Powder Coating
2990 E Blue Star St
Anaheim, CA 92806
See attached - all of that for $80: $30 for the sandblasting and a minimum of $50 for the powder coating - I probably could have added a little more to that and stayed within the minimum.
But...
Was quoted 3 to 4 working days and it will be two weeks tomorrow!
In their defense they said the sand blasting booth went down.
So, I have not yet picked up or seen my completed order and they were way over on the estimated turnaround time but...
The price was right so we'll see
The owner was very friendly and I got good vibes about the business - also Yelp reviews are good
I will post photos and an update when I get my parts back tomorrow
Those are the type of coin door frames I've had trouble with at 2 local shops. Interested to see if yours come out straight.
...whaddaya think about that control panel - niiiiiiiice!
I think it could actually use a few more holes - haha
It came that way from the previous owner - wow.

No sure what your intentions are, but in the future I'd think about welding up the holes you don't need prior to having it coated. I've used knock outs in a pinch, but recently I've just had my buddy water jet plugs the exact size/thickness.
