Bar Stem

Will powdercoat raise the weight of my BMX bike?

Now weight isnt everything but it does play a roll. I want to powdercoat my spokes, forks, bars, stem and frame. I want all black but a baby blue frame. Now if it adds 3 pounds i am not going to do it but if it only adds like a quater of a pound i will do it. Also, will it be more resistant to scrathes over factory semi gloss paint? Would I be able to accomplish this if I added a clearcoat or something over it?

No significant weight is added. Powder coating is what power tools are coated with and is very tough. It will be a lot less likely to scratch than liquid based paint. And because is doesn't use any solvent, it's a lot more ecologically friendly.
Now the bad: you will need to make sure that all threads are covered. That means that all the threads on a spoke are covered. If you have a typical 32 spoke wheel, that means covering all the threads on 64 spokes.
