Cost For Go Kart Frame And Wheels

Looking to see what I should pay for powder coat for this kids go kart frame. I like Ultra Illusion Green Metallic for the frame. Not sure on the wheel color yet. One shop quoted me $500 for the frame and he said anywhere from $100-$200 depending on the color I chose for the wheels. Frame is from the early 2000’s and has a few layers of paint on it. 1 wheel is original and will need to be stripped and the other 3 wheels are brand new and bare steel. I did a quick google search and it seems some shops throughout the country are charging anywhere from $250-$350. Not sure if that includes stripping as well. I’m located in Massachusetts.

How to remove small scratches

I send out this peace to a customer, sadly the packaging and the throwing around scratched the high gloss black, is there an easy way to remove these small scratches?

Already tried dish soap and warm water

ISO Someone That Can Work On Smaller Items (with some detailing)

Hey yall, does anyone have any experience with powder coating smaller items (such as steel eyeglasses frames)? I’ve looked locally, reached out to glasses customization specialists, and no one’s willing to work on this job due to how intricate and time-consuming it is, which I completely understand.

Essentially I need a frame custom colored, with one color on the outside and another on the inside, and detailing (just vertical lines) on the outside in the same color as the inside.

Is this something anyone has done, or does anyone know of a business/hobbyist that’s willing to take it on?

ETA: Super appreciative of everyone’s suggestions so far! My biggest issue is the customer wants very specific colors, because he’s matching a car that he’s building, and the colors are from Prismatic 🤠
