Powdercoating

Can anyone help me with a powdercoating shop somewhere in NYC, Westerchester county or Northern NJ. I've called places left and right. They either wont do what I've got or want over $1000 in total. I want to powdercoat my wheels and valve cover. Anyone?

1. Paint it but then grind the paint off the letters. Like this.

2. Paint the letters a different color than the rest of the valve cover. I would go with red and black, but im not sure what color you car is or what colors you want to do.

Yes. The paint dried and cracked a few months later.
