Thanks for answering all these questions on this thread. I have a few of my own:

I'm having a frame powdercoated right now...it should be done next week. After the frame is powdercoated, I would like to apply a second accent color to the head tube and as a lug liner (by "lug liner" I mean a contrasting color used to pinstripe around the edges of the lugs where they meet the tubes). The powdercoater tells me I can use regular paint on top of the finished powdercoat surface to do this.

My questions:

-What type of paint can I use that will adhere to the finished powdercoated surface?

-What kind of preparation of the finished powdercoated surface is required before applying this paint so it will adhere properly?

-After applying the accent color paint (on the head tube and as a lug liner) and putting on some decals or transfers (for identifying the frame's steel tubing and the bike's brand name) can I have the entire frame/fork clearcoated (not with a powdercoat-type clearcoat, but with a regular automotive paint-style clearcoat) over the powdercoated surface, the accent color and the decals?

Thanks for your help.
