I dunno what its like in London but up here the people that do powdercoating are not the people that understand bicycles. Or want to spend hundreds of pounds on tools to do a job they probably don't realise needs done.
Having watched a lot of car, motorbike, boat etc etc restoration programs on telly I'd say that having to recut threads after powdercoating is the norm.
