Default Coated D-Rings (Shackles)

I got some D-Rings that I want to powder coat, rhino line, or etc. (whichever is best?), but I don't know where to take them or how much it would cost. I'd like to pretend I'd do it myself, but my time is pretty consumed for the next few weeks (honestly it would be hard to find the time to even drop them off, but I can make that happen). Any suggestions would be great. Looking for somewhere local (SD County) if anyone knows of a good place that isn't too expensive...

I coated mine with duracoat, bedlining in a rattle can, 10 bucks at autozone. works great and if you need to touch up, its cheap and you do it at home on your time.......

Eric,

The joint I use here in San Marcos is Electro Tech Powder Coating. They do great work, but not real cheap for the small stuff (I think there is a minimum charge that is more than you likely paid for the D-rings in the first place (maybe) --> large items it is well worth it).

The suggestion that Dave threw out (bed-lining rattle can method) sounds like a good solution; I might try that route myself.

Ty...

Just put the final coat on, letting them dry. They don't look too shabby
