Considering Powder coating - Show off your bike!

Ok, I have an old frame that is too far gone, I considered spray painting it but I like the idea of durability that comes with powder coating. I have a few concerns, I have read that powder can look too thick, especially around lugs. I have also read that it is not as beautiful as paint, which is vary vague. Can anyone describe what makes it less beautiful than paint, is it not as smooth/glossy? Pictures are the best, so if you want an excuse to show off your powder coated bike, be my guest. I am curious what some of you have done with more than 1 color, see if you can inspire me to do more than 1 color!

Thanks,
Matt
