There is a company in Ohio that has powder coated hard plastics, but I can't remember the name. I think 427Aggie (Matt) knows the company's name

Some things to remember about powder coating:

1. It does not like to expand and contract with changs in temp. You may end up with stress lines (small cracks) with significcant weather changes

2. The finish will never look deep like a paint job because it is all pigment and no clear coat

3. The finish will never have a high gloss. Most gloss powder coating looks semi-gloss at best.

I am no professional on it but I have powder coated many parts on my car and used powder coating as a significant part of a picture frame manufacturing business.

Just one opinion.
