Found a pretty good deal on powder coating locally, and decided to go for it.
Pretty pleased with how it turned out, although I did have to chase almost every thread!

Looks great! I had my 85 Stumpjumper powdercoated a couple decades ago, and it’s held up really nicely. I had to clean out the bottom bracket, seat tube and head tube, but I found that paint stripper worked perfectly.
How much did this cost? I’ve always been curious about doing it with my bike.
Sweet look’n.
Its beautiful! I would love to do this to my bike but I have to constantly remind myself that I picked that specific bike so it won’t get stolen.
My ’87 Schwinn had been powder coated by its previous owner. I was able to locate correct decals, and I clear coated over them and now it looks amazing
Very nice
Love it! What are the handlebars?
That deep navy is a proper classy choice, really makes the gumwalls and leather saddle pop. The frame bag and bottle cage setup rounds out a nice adventure rig look too. Chasing every thread sounds tedious but clearly worth it for how clean this turned out. Got me itching to plan a bikepacking trip now.

Really nice finish!
