Has any one had any success painting or powder coating ramps and habitrails. I would love to make the metal bits in my taxi yellow like they are in the example on the gallery page here. I think it lookssupersharp!
I called the powdercoating place and he did not recommend powdercoating something that is already chrome plated.
Any experience stories to share?

I would assume powdercoating would be more durable in the long run. I think the Taxi you're referring to once belonged to errak who is a member here. He could probably chime in or you could send him a pm to see what he did for his habitrails.
Quoted from Anim8ormatt:I called the powdercoating place and he did not recommend powdercoating something that is already chrome plated.
Take them to a chrome shop and thay can remove the chrome, then you can have them powder coated.
Powdercoating holds up and sure makes them look spiffy. There's a member on the Florida Collector's Board called GameDoc that does powdercoating services. Does good work to and stand-up guy: http://www.villagebbs.com/forum/index.php/topic,10120.0.html
