It is a "paint" process. It is done with powders and an oven to bake the powder on. It is a very stong and durable finish. Much better than typical enamals.

Ryan,

Those look really nice, the price is right, but the shipping is going to hurt. My bet is about $125-$180. You may want to find a freight company to haul them for you versus UPS.

Best of Luck.

You may want to ask the guy WHO powder coated them and if they came with a warranty.
