I'm starting a Surly Steamroller build and I'm thinking of having the frame powder coated. It's currently in the cream/pale green colour. I don't live in London so using Armourtex isn't really and option. I've contacted a local powder coating 'specialist' who's quoted me £80+ VAT to powder coat and apply a clear lacquer, and he says he will not need to strip the frame of it's original colour, just powder coat over it. Does this sound right? And is it safe to let a company who don't necessarily specialise in bike frames loose on my frame? The gallery on their website shows a variety of other products coated but no bikes.
