Or at least it’s much more involved. But it’s only two-tone. You can’t do stripes...unless you have them painted on after the powder coating.

$125 here for frame and fork. That included sandblasting. The result

That, unfortunately is the price for any piece. I wanted a fork powder coated and it would have been $125 with sandblasting.
I added the pinstripes after painting. Those came from
