Wow, that is some thick paint! Yeah Brandon, how are you spending that bribe money from the Powder Coating industry?
Just kidding of course.. That Trek looks good and as I said, I have seen some really nice powder coat jobs. It's all in the wrist, no?

Just so folk can see that powder doesn't have to be at thick as that
I've posted a couple pics. I'm sorry that the pictures kinda suck but
my camera doesn't do micro very well. This was the first traditional
lugged frame I ever painted back in '99. The bike is my wife's 70s era
Trek. The paint process is multi-layered with a base layer of a
metal-flake black under a translucent blue, also the rear-end has a
another very light layer of translucent red which can only be seen in
bright sunlight. Here's a pic of the seat joint.
