If you have some decent contacts you can get a frame powdercoated for a reasonable price. It does hold up well as it does not crack, chip or peel like conventional paints.

No, it doesn't mean you have to spend $25K on your project...

Painting a frame will not hold up quite as good as Powdercoat, but is a good alternative.

Prep is very important for both of course
