Powder Coat
If I could have found a source.....that was cheap....I was thinking of anodizing them. Turned out to be too expensive for our quantity.

Is powder coat a process available to the masses? How does it work? Thanks.

Actually there is a local powder coater I know of. I'll have to check that out. Would powder coating hold up? I bet it would. I had my hammock stand blasted and powder coated several years ago and it still looks great, and it is outside year round.

I know Sears sells (or used to) a DIY kit... I have no experience with it...

I think it would hold up better than paint.
The downside is if the powder coat chips... you need (or dont, I guess) to have it re-powder coated. With paint... just touch it up.
Ive had very good luck with the Rustoleum spray enamels that you can pick up at Lowes and HD. Ive got a trailer I built several years ago that I rattle canned with it, and have used the trailer ALOT, that is holding up perfectly.
My answer to this would be... Because the Dutch Clips are cool-nifty-neat-o and you can never have too much variety of gear to play with!

I'm beginning to think that is the case for several items often touted on this board...My answer to this would be... Because the Dutch Clips are cool-nifty-neat-o and you can never have too much variety of gear to play with!
