I've been pricing materials, and $250 to $300 to have someone like Ed Litton do it doesn't seem bad at at all.
Depends on the frame. If it's a highly collectable classic, then it's not a good idea. If it's just a nice old ride that's better than a beater waiting to get ridden into the ground, powdercoating can be a great way to bring it back. There's no point in spending $250+ dollars on a frame worth $50.
