Powder Coat vs. Standard Paint?
I am looking to get my frame repainted pretty soon, and am wondering if I'm better off with a 'regular' paint job or go with powder coating. I have seen price estimates for regular paint jobs in the ~$200 range, with additional charges for clear coat etc. I got a quote from a local powder coat company that says that they do frames for $125.
Jump in and give me the pros and cons of both types of painting, and what I should look for (and look out for) when choosing a shop. TIA for the insights and opinions....
