bike-specific powdercoaters
You'd think that of all places, Austin would have one or two good places that could do bike-specific powdercoating. Unfortunately, most of the custom cycle shops (Willits, Moyer, even Sanner) are no longer open, so I'm left only general-item powdercoaters (who still charge $135 a job...)
Does anyone know of a good reputable shops that know how to powdercoat bikes (to preserve lug lining, etc) to whom I could ship my frame and fork? Extra points if it's in Texas, and if not, I guess I'll have to deal .
EDIT :: As a bit of background, it's an 80's frame that's got some flaking chrome and rust underneath. I'm going to OA it, but I figure since this is my primary workhorse, it could stand getting a durable, strong (and cheap? hopefully?) paintjob.

Not in Texas, but Groody Brothers (find them on Facebook at https://www.facebook.com/GroodyBros?ref=ts) is in Kansas City (not that far, I suppose) and they do a fantastic job with powdercoating, and can work around chrome bits too. I am very pleased with the Peugeot they finished for me over the summer. I want to say that the powdercoating was about fifty bucks, the teardown around forty, the powder around twelve.

Nice! Thanks for all the tips! I'll be looking into these. Spectrum looks like they'll do decals too! Awesome.
Anybody know what kind of post-powdercoating work will need to be done? Will the threads need to be chased or anything?

I'm not sure if you're looking for a place that does ONLY bikes. I was looking for a place that at least advertised doing bikes the other day and found these:
