Put my West Coast Mirrors Back On The Burb.

I had them powdercoated about ayear ago and they have been sitting. Since I am leaving on Saturday to go to Chicago pulling a travel trailer, I thought I should put them on. They look nice. It is going to take a little getting use to those big things :p I used nylon nuts and bolts when I installed them. I figure if there is a mishap with the mirrors, I rather have the rip right off than screw up my doors.

Where did you take them to get them powder coated? Do most body shops do that or is a DIY project? You suggested that I powder coat my wheel covers a while ago.
