Not really fair.. the average man in the street struggles to string together a coherent sentence.

How easy a job do you want it to be? The black on the frame on my bike is out of rattle tins. If it looks a bit chipped when I look underneath, it gets another coat. Rattle tins aren't dear.
Is it for a bike that's used, or just looks pretty?

A used bike but a mate is painting it so I would imagine just a good spray. Just wondered if there was something else out there I should be considering.

Why does anyone bother when you can have these nice people do it for you

TS1 and PX stay in the garage (future barn finds) out on the GTS 300 when I go out on a scooter.
I know I’ll get there and back

Yes Tim

He sticks his frame in the back of his car and drives to the nearest outfit as indicated when "powder coating" is entered into the Google search bar.

Simples....
Did you have to do that?
