Framebuilders - Seattle-Powder Coating

Bikeforums.net is a forum about nothing but bikes. Our community can help you find information about hard-to-find and localized information like bicycle tours, specialties like where in your area to have your recumbent bike serviced, or what are the best bicycle tires and seats for the activities you use your bike for.
Does anyone have experience with a powder coating shop in the Seattle or greater Northwest area? Heck, if it's a fantastic deal I'd even be willing to ship it out, but I thought going local would be cheaper. I want to throw a coat on my commuter-to-be-vintage frame before I go head long into my car-free bike commuting lifestyle. :D Thanks for the tips.

They have been painting bikes for 15+ years. Not sure what their consumer pricing is like, but they do good work.
Up here in Toronto I got a quote of 50 bucks to powdercoat a bike frame. This is a place that does parts mostly for the tuner market. So I don't know what the results will be like. They do lots of nice colours. The price included stripping the frame. I told them it was all new work, and I might be able to get a better price.
for that kind of price I'd be more than willing to ship it, though I dont know about the international bit.
