That was for a two coat finish, either a base and a color, or a color and a clear coat, depending on the materials I choose (to be determined when I drop the bike off and go through their catalogs). The shop came recommended from a BF member who had used them in the past, and the couple other shops I called were all in a similar range, but this one has experience in doing bicycle frames.

I'll definitely have a thread with the results, one of the things I racked my brain over was exactly how much PC ruins the lug lines that is often stated, but rarely backed up with photographic evidence. They're running a two week turnaround right now, so hopefully I'll have results to show by mid April.
