Damage it with a scratch and run over with a blow torch and, it will melt back to perfect  ;)

Everyone says that but on a rider, what does it matter. Just touch it up with paint. For a painted frame, an invisible touch up is more work than it would get anyway. Whatever the frame coating, scratches will only be touched in.

The cost of blasting, and then primer and paint, thinners etc it would have cost more to paint and it wouldnt have looked as tidy as this. If id paid to get it painted it would have cost alot more than £70!

On a proper full on correct resto that wont get ridden, yes, paint but if you want to ride, powder.

I did some powder 20 years ago when I worked at a platers. The first item off the oven was sacraficial. We would beat hell out of it with a hammer. If the powder failed before the metal deformed there was something wrong and the batch would be re done.
I dont see the coating (if done well) chipping anyway.

I didnt know that, makes sense though. I might scratch it somewhere hidden and practice that. Might be worth getting a bit of spare powder too.
