I went with a flat black on mine. It was a one coat process. At $115 (media blasting included) it was a budget friendly, no hassle way to transform a bike that had seen better days (and maybe it's final days) and give it new life. It also allows you to create something that may not have otherwise existed. At the end of the day its all about value or bang for the buck for me. An expensive paint job may have one paranoid about every chip and a rattle can job is very labor intensive and longevity is suspect at best. To each their own of course but I would do it again. Make sure your powdercoater not only promises a good masking, but follows thru. Other than that. dare I say it's bombproof
