Angle Iron/Aluminum

Check out powder coating. It is powdered plastic that is sprayed on the metal, then melted.

Aluminum will oxidize in just a few minutes. The coating on steel is scale and should be ground/sanded off before painting or powder coating.

Hard Anodized aluminum angle should work. It will be black and a very durable finish.

Powdercoating.

Thanks.

Since they do not have that at Home Depot, would you know the best(cheapest) place to get it?

You'd have to buy the angle, then have it hard anodized. Should be a few places fairly local to you that do that.

This would make it difficult and cost prohibitive, so I'd need to go with another option.

Thanks.

Powder-coating could be an option -- that's an extremely durable finish.

I looked into powerder coating years ago when I was considering using it on some arcade game related metal parts, but had come to the conclusion that it wasn't plausible to do myself in my small apartment,a nd it wasn't worth it to try and have it done at one of the auto places.

Any idea what the approximate cost of materials/hardware, and also the amount of room needed for a set-up like this?

(The size of the largest parts would be as much as 2' X 1').

Thanks.
