Powder coating a bike frame

[MattCollister]

I have a "project bike" that has been in the "project" phase way too long. I posted about it, I think, last fall, looking for suggestions on painting the aluminum frame.

More recently, I've been leaning towards having the frame powder coated. There are a couple of powder coaters on the Web who say they specialize in bicycles. Spectrum Powder Coating in Colorado is one. There's a guy in Michigan too.

But I was wondering if anyone had ever worked with a Cleveland-area company to have a bicycle frame powder coated. Any suggestions?

Anodize. Never thought of that.

Actually, just sent it off to be powdercoated.

I'm about to take mine to a company I found in Parma. Sorry I didn't see your post before you sent it off.

I'm going to give this guy a shot. Hopefully have it out and back next week.
