Well, if I would of had the money back then I would of opted for a "real" paint respray. This is powdercoated and it looks really good. It is true that powdercoating can be thicker around the lugs but it all depends on who sprays it. I would say that mine was done fairly good. As for the "wet" look I think you are trying to achieve; powdercoating can look wet. Mine does, but not as wet sa a real paint job can look. In all, if you are going to ride this bike and want some good protection on it and you don't want to spene + $450, powdercoating is the way to go. Here is a pic of my Colnago that I got powdercoated.
