Are you sure its blue? Sometimes the picture will show blue but I was told when I bought mine that that don't make the blue anymore, which I was after the black anyways. But the pictures you look at online are sometimes still blue. I would make sure, I could be wrong.

Powder coat would probably be the best bet for durability.

I agree. Automotive paint would be you next best choice followed by an epoxy spray paint, bedliner paint or engine enamal spray paints.

Sandblast and paint with POR-15, using their suggested prep of course.
