Depends.. Powder coating has it's limitations, meaning color.

have a look at some of the 2 steps and 3 steps in the gallery, the sky is the limit with the combinations, and the depth of some of them are immense.

I've had frames and parts powdercoated and have been quite pleased with the results. It's also much more durable than my other option (spray can in the backyard).
