Where might I go to get my TI powder coated and how much would it cost?

I will chime in on this, I don't know much about equipment but the cowboy , Drake and the Gooch are wearing Wilson Ti that are powder coated black. Also, Vanover wears a Riddell.....

I am by no means an expert on this, but a few things off the top of my head: Beal got let go two years ago. Tumoane also has and wears a Nike mask fairly often. Laz still wears those ugly tan All star pads (sorry Brad!) even though he switched from a all-star Ti to a Nike Ti this year.

Along Hickmans comments, I think powder coating the Ti masks is the next logical wave you tweaks you will see.

Nope I had to create it. It didn't take long about an hour. I used high-res images to verify the mask setups for each umpire.

Yep, that should be The Dyna-Lite WTA3007. I'll update the chart.....

One of the things Ive heard about the regular Dyna-Lite masks is that the rubber coating on the bars is meant to absorb energy and slow down a ball. The titanium mask doesnt have this rubber coating on the bars.

I was watching a game a few weeks ago and noticed Drake not wearing his usual Mizuno (that hes worn for a long time) and was instead sporting a black Wilson mask - but the bars appeared to be thinner than the regular Dyna Lite. This must have been it.

Have noticed a mask frame that looks like a Wilson & is black but definitely is not a Dyna Lite....I think this is being field tested:

147876565-home-plate-umpire-jim-reynolds147383047-shelley-duncan-of-the-clevelan

147520131-home-plate-umpire-joe-west-res

Its definitely not a Dyna Lite - more narrow profile & bars:
