Bay photo does it - but they get pricy in a hurry after 36 x 24. I've used them for metal and canvas before and have been happy with the results. Here's the sizes they have:

Single Metal Prints, Photographs Printed on Aluminum - Bay Photo Lab

Stunning prints on aluminum in any/every size up to 4'x8'

I've also heard - via this board - great things about White House custom color too.

I use both of the labs that Steve mentioned. Both frequently run sales, so if you are not in a hurry, you might be able to save yourself some money. Printique also does metal and runs lots of sales. If this is a very special piece and you need some additional attention, I would stick with the former two labs, but if it is not a complicated job, they would be an affordable option when they run a sale.

Good luck,

Ditto the recommendations for Bay Photo and White House Custom Color. Bay is my first choice, but if WHCC is running a sale, I won’t hesitate to use it. Bay has been running sales these past couple of weeks so check them out and if you “missed” one of the discounts, try the code anyway - I have found that Bay occasionally honors past date discounts. It was suggested to me by a Bay employee a couple of yrs ago; I had called several days after sale ended to ask if I could still get the deal and she suggested that I just type in the discount code since management was often slow at changing the order site after deadlines. Found that it worked twice.

I used Art Beats for some work and while it looks good, I was surprised at how long they took. The coupon is sure nice, however.

I use mpix (Miller's Printing) for everything I can't do at home anymore.

I gave art beats a try. I received my metal print in 6 days. I didn’t think that was bad at all! CA to TX shipping.
 
Costco photo does a good job on metal. You don't have to be a costco member.

Good, that's a very reasonable time. The quality was good?

I'd love to try Nevada Art Prints and their Lumachrome prints some day, but need a photo and location in the house to justify that.
 
I have used artbeat studios for metal prints quite a few times and am satisfied with the whole process. Sometimes takes longer than others but that is ok with me.
