I was reading about it the other day. It seemed expensive, compared powder-coating at this point, and I didn't see near the glossiness or range of colors. I didn't do a lot of research, and would happily be corrected. Apparently, by far the most durable coating presently available.
OP- I think the current color scheme is pretty nice! You realize you might be able to find another Lemond in a different color for what a mid range paint job might cost... I know, it wouldn't be new paint but...*
