Also got a Five in a similar finish and had an Intense Slopestyle in raw, which was lovely until someone took some polish to it…

Los- I took my Giant to a powder coaters/industrial strippers in Leicester. They dipped it for 25 quid which I thought was reasonable.
To be honest, just Google 'chemical stripping' in your area and you should come up with something. I gave it a little rub over with fine wire wool and it looked great. Re-doing the wire wool every once in a while if you can be bothered brings back the shine. EBay for the decals....

If they dip it, they'll not charge too much more to powdercoat it I'd have thought.
