It's not an addition to paint or powder coat. It's the actual covering itself. It's called Cerakote:

While the primary commercial application is as explained on the website, it's also used on bikes. The issue is that the colors are a matte finish, but if you mix them with glossy white you get the pearl finish you see on my frame.

It's cheaper than paint since it requires less labor. You spray on one coat and bake it. No priming. No multiple coats. Strong or stronger than paint. Lighter than paint. Can't find the receipt at the moment, but IIRC, it was about $350 for the new, bare frame. Work done by Paint by Todd
