I can't think of any place locally. Who did you hear of in Williamstown. I work with bodyshops and service depts everyday so I can probably see what kind of work they do. Just let me know there name and I will see what I can do

The best thing to do is look for a large industrial painting contractor. I think there is one in Williamstown.

Out side of South Charleston was a painting Co called W.Q. Waters and the did blasting. On Rt 35 at fraziers Bottom is a painting place that may do blasting and in Huntington was a shop the blats and several people took parts to them. I will try to find out about the Fraziers Bottom and Huntington shops!

anyone have any input on epoxy coating versus powder coating?

I dont think anyone around here does the powder coating though.

Theres a place I checked into in Morgantown about a year ago. They gave me a price of 300 dollars to blast and power coat a frame I was working on.

Good pics of your project.

For what it is worth my snow plow frame was powder coated.
Everywhere it flexed the powder coat peeled off. Then it was only a very short time till it was all gone.
If I wanted a paint job to last I think I would go with epoxy.
