Quadangle Powder Coating

Hi all, Long time lurker, but only my second post in over a decade.

Have had a 1985 Quadangle sat in bits in my attic since buying from a mate almost 25 years ago. My kids have now grown up and finished Uni, so ive decided i now have the time and patience to get it rebuilt.

It was originally Baby Blue, but at some point in its life its been hand sprayed lime green. The green paint is flaking in places and the original paint looks pretty straight. Does anybody have any idea whether its possible to remove the green paint without damaging the original paint ? or would it be easier to just have it powder coated ? Is there anywhere that could match the original colour and what sort of cost are we lookng at ? Ive spoken to a local  ( im in Coventry ) powder coating and plating company who specialise in bike frames and they are quoting ?160 for the frame and forks, and another ?30 if the drop outs need tidying. May even go black if matching the original paintwork isnt and option.

Thanks in advance if anybody can help.

LOL how much? I know people take the piss with bike coating, but man that is about the most expensive quote I have ever seen.

Get hold of Dan. He charges ?80 without repairs. Powder is about a tenner.
