Not that the bike cares but I do wonder the actual painting process. Was it powder coated, wet sprayed or dipped (which I doubt). If it was dipped then the insides of many other parts of the frame are likely coated too. Now if the dipped reference was to remove the old paint then my only follow up is the hope that the insides were completely drained and dried before primer/paint.
