Hi, I am going to get my red rd350 frame re-done, but the only thing is that I do not like Powder Coat finish much - has anyone used anything else to good effect?

twin pack lots of it nice and thick better than coating

coating is to me i think crap after a time it goes brittle and cracks then your frame starts rusting underneath it and you cannot see it happening at least with twin pack you can repair it easy enogh
