I'm a powder coat convert. £45 frame and forks, start to finish, with metallic lacquer. Colours limited to the RAL chart, which is enough for me. There are *hundreds*. Mine looks ace, not at all industrial. It looks like Kawasaki green, funnily enough.
It costs more than £45 in aerosols, and you have to do all the prep. Paying a bike shop is £100 up, more if you want more than 1 colour, lacquer, etc.
