Redrider on these forums does it for a decent price. An autobody shop might also do it. There is a place called PK selective that does some really cool stuff, but its mega money, and has a slow turn around time.

go to a hardware store and buy some stove polish for cast iron stove. it worked pretty good on my rt

whitewolfairsmithng.com does really nice anno jobs..i dont kno if they do powder coatin tho.

Ill powder coat it glossy black. Only problem is my compressor is down. So it will be about a week or two before i get a new one and can start coating stuff

Or you can get some really fine sandpaper like 3000 grit (good luck finding it) or 2000 (which I have) grit automotive wet/dry sand paper. Soak it in water for awhile and dry it off (this softens it) and LIGHTLY rub it over the scratches. It might help buff them out, it might completely rid the body of scratches, or it will just mess it up. Either way, the sandpaper is like $3 so go get some and try it out, and if it doesnt work, then get it re-powdercoated. Give it a shot.

BTW go to an automotive store like Pepboys.....no other hardware store carries this stuff.
