>>1524737This is the finish i got.
It's not as nice as a really nice wet paint job but i think it looks pretty good, waayyy better than rattlecan, and it's tough.
They did a pretty good job not going too deep into the ritchey stamp on the dropouts so these guys would be able to do a lugged frame and keep those details looking good. Some shitty places will lay it on too thick and obscure the lugs. Yours is just tigged though right? Much easier job.
They did a pretty average job plugging the threads so ideally i should have chased them all but I didn't i just forced stuff in and it went ok. If you run an external bearing bottom bracket it is worth having the bb faced after painting which most good shops can do.
They'll be able to do something close to Celeste too. It's more expensive if you stray from standard colours but they can basically do anything if you pay them. I'd also consider pink because Pantani and the giro. Or black with lots of celeste decals would be cool. Or pay for metallic flecks in the powder would look really cool like a very dark purple with metallic flecks.
I also recommend you try to talk a car bodyshop paint place to clear coat it after you powder, if they're doing a car at the same time, it would be very cheap and it will make it look better and last better. Maybe decal it before clearing. I didn't do that and i kinda regret it.
