I did quite a bit of searching for a local guy to plate my hardware (door locks, hood latches, etc), and finally found a small motorcycle shop that would do it. I'm paying about $45 for him to blast the hardware to metal, then I'm going to get it coated. I originally wanted to get it plated, but the guy told me it would be significantly cheaper to have it powder coated (about 1/3 the price). What do you guys think? Will powder coating hold up on a door striker?

No powder coating on door strikers. Plating is way harder and will not chip.

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I put all my parts that I wanted plated in vinegar overnight, then sent them out to be replated. Check with BD Stone, he has the striker plates available that have been replated like these, these have been zinc plated. He has lots of other replated parts available too.
