James, why wouldn't they? I know powder coating armor is not the normal powder coating job, but it's just a piece of steel as far as they're concerned. I'm kinda surprised they turned you away.

One called me back and I gave them details and they never called back again. One said they only take large / commercial jobs (some high price minimum, maybe $1k+ I don't remember since it was a couple years back). The other I couldn't even get to return my call. I figured work is work, but since I couldn't even get call-backs I don't think they wanted to deal with it at all.
I got some blackened leg armor from Maxim last year and I like the look of it so I didn't pursue it any further. I'm thinking a custom bike / car shop might be able to do it, if I decide to revisit. I toyed with red/gold powder coating and doing a medieval Ironman kind of thing. I still might, eventually...
