Got my frame back from the powdercoater tonight. He did a wonderful job, masking off the fork dimples and steering tube perfectly.

The color was the closest to the original Raleigh green as we could find. It looks like a muddy grey in normal room light, but shows a brilliant metallic green under bright light (an LED flashlight in this case) or out in the sun. Beautiful work for $110.
