These less expensive painters sound really great to me. As I noted awhile
back I had a frame sandblasted and powdercoated at Portland Powdercoating
and was satisfied with service and quality. I just want to say that I was
impressed by the fact that they would paint my frame as they seemed to
making their living powdercoating things much larger and more industrial in
nature. These other two companies may be more bike friendly because of
size. At any rate, it sounds like we have options and I am planning on
getting a frame powdercoated soon. Thanks to all for info.
