Yeah, hate to have to powder coat it but I think that's the best solution long term. anyone have any idea what so ever what it would cost to powder coat a piece of that material at like 5 1/2" by 25" ?? even a ballpark would be nice. As for home anodize Id rather just pay someone to do it, safer/less pain in the butt. And, someone correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't powder coating better, durability wise, than anodizing the plate?
MajorHavoc:
You could check with your local vo-tech school(s). They may do it for the cost of materials (and the students get some experience). Alternatively, a commercial powder coater may cut you a deal if you are willing to wait until he gets a larger order for the same color you desire.
To further agitate the fertilizer, Harbor freight has a powder coat rig on sale. I think it was about $70.00.

If you can fit the piece in your oven, this is quite feasable actually since powdercoating is baked somewhere between 300 and 400 someodd degrees...
I say you go ahead and do it! We need a guinea pig.
