There are about a million ways the wrong powdercoat guy can make your future bicycle project life unhappy, most of which involve overly enthusiastic application of the material. I have, myself, knowing this and having a pretty OK feeling about a powdercoater here, had a couple of projects made much more difficult to complete by whoever was doing the spraying coating the crown race seat on a couple of older forks. It did not matter that I had clearly marked the areas not to be coated.

It is cheap, and turns out looking nice and shiny. But you don't want to let just anybody do it for you. And you often lose some detail in the lugs...doesn't have to be that way, but it often turns out that way.
