Hey K. Williams,
That is a great idea. One of those "why didn't I think of that?" things. Do you have any suggestions, i.e. particular companies or coatings? Do you have any idea of the cost? If it's too expensive, maybe I should just pay BladeArt $190. The good thing is that the Spydie at BladeArt is somewhat collectible; but, if I have my Police coated (if it's not too expensive), I know I can beat the crap out of it and have it re-done if the coating gets too ugly.
