    Why not just stick to one thread?

    Powder coating mountain bike frames is never good. It very quickly looks much worse than it did before.
    I wouldn't use any process on an aluminium frame which uses heat, it's not good for them.

    Agreed, much prefer paint, it marks a little easier but scratches and scrapes don't lead to a peeling in the way you can get with powder coating.

    Well after a long think and looking over the internet and various feedback decided against it save my pennies instead.

    Worn paint on a mountain bike looks good. It looks like it's been used as intended by its designer.
    There's something wrong with a mountain bike which looks like new unless it's straight out of a showroom.
