Titch from your perspective now you're thinking those decals are toast and the bike looks old and chipped up. However, your frame is in WAY better shape than most of the bikes I collect. The cool thing about vintage bikes is that they sport the chips, scratches and faded paint from having been ridden thousands of miles - to me that's the thing I like best about them. I would take a sun-faded classic any time over a shiny new repaint. Of course it's your bike and you can do what you want with it, but powdercoat is very hard to take back.
