I guess the powdercoat is in a detailed areaand thats why I wont do it myself, but a powdercoater might tell me differently.

CAT, LLC did mine. $175 for the derby, $75 points cover. Sorry, no pic, but they did an awesome job.

I just recently picked up my SYF derby cover. The artist has passed, but his wife said she still had a few. She also said she would try to satisfy any future requests for them as well. Ck here: http://www.pangal.com/bike_parts/sto...ock_parts.html
Other than that I think Mountain Machine might be the winning ticket for the 3-D design. Have the roses powder coated as recommended, or hire an out of work hippy chick to hand paint them for you. I would most likely go for the hippy chick!
My $0.02

Default Derby Cover

Sorry I haven't been able to reply for some reason. One of your friends on the site contacted me to see if I can help you. I hope I am replying in the correct way.
We ave our Derby covers powder coated before our process, but it is with a different chemical for the gas infused image. WE could not separate out the finishes on the cover. We put the image on the cover and some airbrushing, but mostly the image. I hope this helps. My email is chryle@gmx.com. But I also received a message when you posted.
Sincerely,
Cheryle

I think I have a starting place, but any advice might get me going.
Thanks in advance...
Take a look at this thread. Looks like they do some awesome work.
