I had a custom powder made for me for a project, and had two different places powder coat a panel one local, one states away. Both did underwhelming work.. The first company was local and even though they got the best reviews in town, the finish was very uneven looking lots of bubble like dips in the finish. I found a company out of state that said no worries we can do it right, and they did do a better job, but still a slightly bubbly looking finish. I know theres a way to get smooth finishes! I see it all the time on gear, but I'm striking out! Anyone have suggestions for a place to powder coat some panels for me? I'm in Nashville btw...

Maybe contact Matt Stager of Stager mics ([email protected])? His mics have great looking powder coats and he's in Nashville too.
Powder coat is not rocket science but a PIA to start and stop for small runs. I recall when Peavey set up our powder coat production line and it was significant, but worked better running the same color for long runs, not small batches.

If you have the space can get a diy powder coat kit
I had an acquaintance who worked at a small local motorcycle rebuilding shop do a small batch of powder coating for me back in the day. He was surprised at how small / simple the job was. Maybe look into that kind of business in your area?
