Powder-coated and drilled enclosure from Europe?

Sorry if this has been asked before, but after a couple of hours of googling I'm none the wiser.

Are there any similar companies as Pedal Parts Plus or Mammoth Electronics, who offer enclosure drilling and powder coating? Silk screening would be a plus, but not necessary. The shipping, VAT and customs would kill me in the long rong if ordering outside the EU.

They also do pre-drilled but they are unpainted. They might do both if requested I suppose.

You could also try Fuzzdog and he'd probably accommodate you....

Banzai music also have nice powder coated enclosures. However you cannot have drilled+powder coated enclosures.

They have plenty of colours and the overall quality is very good.

We miss a service like pedalpartplus in Europe! I tried in France to find someone that can do similar stuff, however, it is really expensive most of the times (7 euros per enclosure just for powdercoating is the cheapest price I found, and you have to paint at least 50 enclosures!)

Thanks for the suggestions! I should've been more clear, though, as I'm looking for Hammond enclosures and custom powder coating, not the ready-coloured models.

It's the classic catch-22: Painting and drilling the enclosures is the most time-consuming and difficult part of the build process for me, but the very small build batches make it too expensive to have the enclosures painted and drilled outside EU unless I order in huge quantities, making me lose even more money :)
