Frames are back from clear coating

Well we learned a lot this week about powder coating clear coat.  It did bake and slightly discolor the 1shot paint which was a possibility we knew.  However they are still green and did not turn brown and that's what we hoped for.  They also now have another layer that is tough as nails which is important for making the bikes last forever.  There are a few spots and imperfections but for the most part they look good and we are sooooo ready to start assembly.

Other options would have been to either pay for an exspensive custom glitter metallic powder coating or possibly to carefully clear coat from a spray can at home.

This is the first pictures from Katrina's phone.
