What type of coating are you thinking of as there are lot of options available like metal,aluminum,powder coating mdf ? And have you contacted anyone for this work?

Debating using what I believe is actually a polyester powder, the typical powder coating used on valve covers and such. I am a little bit undecided yet because I have a friend with a dump trailer that was factory powder coated and it is peeling off real bad also have seen hitches that seem to flake off. However it seems that powder coating holds up pretty well to abrasion such as rubbing against a tree. I have not called anyone yet as I am still undecided and first I need to finish sand blasting all the parts.
