Day 4 ... Powder Coat

I love to ride bikes, particularly fixed gear bikes. My current bike is a 1975 Motobecane Mirage. It is a solid frame but the paint job it lacking. I like the rustic look of the paint but I am worried about rust. To remedy this I need to paint it but paint can fade and chip fairly easily. So instead of paint I want to powder coat it. Powder coating is basically like paint but it is actually bonded to the metal though a series of electrical charges. So day 4 is powder coating my bicycle.
Here she is now
Here is a local company that charges $70 (not bad ... I think) I'm not sure about color though
