Here's the bike:


Pros; long lasting, inexpensive, easy maintenance

Cons; hard to get off if you change your mind, typically "duller" than paint, less color choices, have to remove bearings to have done, adds weight, can chip, you have to have the part sand blasted prior to powder coating it

Personally, I like paint better but to each his own. Make sure you put a bolt in every hole and tape up everywhere that you don't want powder coat to be.

How about a nice green wheel stripe in stead?
