also... if you do powder make sure they DO NOT BEAD BLAST!!!!!! any powder coater will know that... it will create such outgassing that it will ruin the powder... you want to use a smaller media like, alum oxid (best out there) or i use black dimand sand (cheaper by the pound, and still leaves a great finish to powder) i saw bead blast in an earlier post and wanted to make sure you did not do that.

It turns out my nephew works for a paint shop and has access and I might be able to get a deal plus they are reasonably local.
As far as the prep do they have to media spray, or is it something I can sand heavily?

The Epoxy has a smooth gloss finish right? Not the rough finish like the harley engine coating that I want to match.
