I just took my mtb to be blasted and powder coated. Cost $135. Came out WAYYYYYYYYY better than new. Freaking awesome job. Prolly would have cost me 50 bucks in paint and supplies, or more. And still would have a crappy paint job that chips if you look at it. Don't bother if you want a good job. Also, up here in Maine, I wouldn't be able to paint till July at this point, due to the fact that it is below zero, and just won't warm up.
