It wanted a new powder coat, so I sent it on a journey to return refreshed and sparkly (can really only see in direct light, but it's pretty). I don't know what adventures it had in its previous life, but most recently it was stolen and returned to its previous owner. It told me it wants to be a beach cruiser now, spending its days picking up snacks and spinning in the sun, so might give it a taller stem.
Ouch, I haven't done a century in ~9 years. This was 108.5mi. Recently up to 88 though. Found some unexpected gravel at the north end. It was quiet out today. Excuse me while I try to get myself to stretch instead of just lay in a pile.
I'm getting a bike powder coated. Don't know much about it, but have an idea of how I want it to look: something between aqua and medium blue with lots of sparkle. Blue or silver sparkle, non-color-changing.
Could I use this base: https://www.prismaticpowders.com/shop/powder-coating-colors/PMS-0517/heavy-silver
and this top: https://www.prismaticpowders.com/shop/powder-coating-colors/UPB-1425/baltimore-blue
to enhance the sparkle already in the top coat? Would the silver brighten the blue too much or create too much texture?
I came across this crazy amazing one and got concerned about the texture warning: https://www.prismaticpowders.com/shop/powder-coating-colors/PPB-11212/supernova-island
Thanks for any input! Only had one other bike done before and just went with a stock color from a local powder coater.

I'm forever going to be wondering what secrets she's keeping.
