If your bike frame has steel lugs, you might want to make sure you're going to a powder coater who is experienced in doing bicycles. If they put the finish on too thick, you can lose the detail around the lugs. An experienced powder coater will know this.
If the bike is really special, you might want to consider shipping to these guys; they have a national reputation...
