I had pretty much decided to paint my frame, but I thought since there was a powdercoaters next to the office, I might as well check in and ask......yup, I'm money ahead painting, no question. Sure, it's not as durable as PC, but I have control over prep and the ability and material to touch up/repair at will. That, and it'll be much cheaper 
I can't deny the cost savings is appealing either :woohoo: I initially wanted to just do black, but your right, It's just too much black, I need a little more contrasting color in there.

I wasn't knocking blue frames Tyler, the bike I'm thinking about was a lighter blue with a white seat and bodywork. It didn't work for me taste, and I wanted to stay away from that.I had a blue frame. Didn't look bad, but I'm back at black now.
