Im tempted to try and rubberise the bike frame with something like this:

Anti-chip which would be more durable than powder coating and cost-wise a lot less and it's completely waterproof. Only thing that bothers me is the finish. I've also heard that this stuff would last up to 20 years.

Thoughts?
