Default Where to get bow powder coated or dipped

I decided to turn my Carbon matrix into a dedicated 3D bow, sooooo where can a guy get a riser dipped or powder coated in edmonton?

I want to go High Gloss (like glass) pitch Black.

A buddy mentioned that I should take it to an automotive paint shop and get them to spray it. Thoughts?

156st, 131ave, just behind (east of 156 on 131ave) Ironstone. I forget the name of the place but they moved into my old shop. They do custom dips.

Watch where you go for powder coating, the temp they use can and will damage aluminum and carbon fibre (which delaminates with the heat). I would only dip a carbon riser and after having an aluminum riser warped after powder coating, would only go to outfits that do small automotive parts etc and are more delicate.

Thanks for the advice! Thinking I need to look more into having the bow painted by a shop since its a Carbon riser and I only want a solid color with high gloss finish.

Referring to liquid customs? If so I got my bow done from them. Awesome work and so many different patterns. Mine is a two tone ash wood pattern.
