Please show us your powder coated bikes

The cro megas below were powder coated. Not easy for the operator to do a stop/start with colours but a 1-2 inch blend is possible. Once the decals are applied, all is good.
Ive watched it done (powder coating) and the whole process has to be acknowledged to understand that the finish can be somewhat sub-standard to built up cell paints.
Now, the industrial origins of the process remains. Where a traditional painter will go round the object with a certain scrutiny and skill. This is why powder can show flaws, at the welds and junctions where the undercoat can show through.
Its meant to be tough and quick. dirty cro mega 1990.jpg PICT0077_zps349fdbfb.jpg
 
Not a mtb but I think a good example of powder coating . Colour is Ral 9006

Frame and forks powdercoated silver (2).JPG

Fantastic job done on my single speed, but I'm not sure it fits my build. This is Sovereign Silver, but I wanted something less sparkly, maybe more of a pearlescent finish.
