i was attempting to polish my hxs and shit takes forever i used aircraft stripper and sand paper ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL day and the paint the last person had still wont come off so i gave up....so this might be a dumb question

but whats the difference between taking them to be painted by someone that knows what their doing n having them powder coated? do they look different? and if theres anyone that can do it gimme a price..thx
