SW is one of my grails, so keep those updates coming! ;D I'm also interested to hear how much something like that costs to get powder coated. I've never had powder coating done. How do you find a shop that does it? Just look up "powder coating" in the yellow pages?

Actually... there is kind of a story relating to how I found this place...
My wife and I were out to lunch at a local restaurant... I was mentioning to her I need to find the local powder coating shop to clean up my SW game controller. I had heard through the grapevine there was a local shop but I could not recall where, and I had not started to look yet... She looked at me and said oh "You want to go to Performance Powder Coating of Frederick". I was like wwha? She had looked down at the little paper place mat full of adds and it was staring her right in the face, an ad for the place I was looking for. ;D

Got the quote back today...
Sand Blasting and hand sanding down to bare metal, Zinc Powder Primer and Powder Coat: $60.00
I'm also going to have them do the power block metal work... I'm thinking gold :)... what the heck!
"5000... all in advance"
"5000... we can almost buy our own ship for that!"
"Yeah but who's going to fly it kid... you?"
ChadTower:
Yeah! I'm not such a bad powdercoater myself!
