I got some fairly smart results with spray.bike (build thread: https://www.lfgss.com/conversations/326398/)
It was a relative pleasure to apply, and doing it myself was cheap and satisfying. However, it is absolutely nowhere near as durable as a traditional oven cured powder coat. I mean, like 10x less. I made a couple of small chips with tools while building it up (though I've added none that I'm aware of since, it's only been on the road a month or two and lives inside both at home and at work...)
I'm still super happy with it, but it's a fun thing to play with, to make a statement, or a great way to give your beater a fresh face every year, not a super-durable coat that will shrug off "a lot of use and abuse".

I got ESP in Maryhill to strip/powder coat a steel tourer for me a couple of years ago-£40- wasn't perfect but not too bad either. Mibbe worth a shout for a Pomp?
Was looking at spray.bike myself but don't have a heated space to do it and have questions about the durability of it also so think either ESP or Henderson's in Edinburgh...

Want to treat my Pompino to a new finish as current (stock) paint is looking pretty tired, been patched up with rattlecans by me as I’ve done various mods to the frame.
Was thinking powdercoat as it gets a lot of use and abuse in all weathers and I want a durable finish but wonder if I could get a decent result diy-ing it with spray.bikes cans or something.
