 Metal Cleaners on National Ave has been a long standing choice amongst many of us.  They only do single-color powdercoating from what I've heard, and it's relatively cheap.  If you got deep pockets, or just want some eye candy to look at, check out http://www.spectrumpowderworks.com/.  I've seen some of their stuff at the North American Handmade Bicycle show a couple years back and it is truly special.

				| I first went to Metal Cleaners, but was underwhelmed by their color selection.  I ended going with Jackson Powder Coatings.  The guy works out of his garage and his prices started at $120 or so.  He can also do some interesting stuff like multi-coat pearls or candies.  I got my frame back in a week or so and am happy with how it turned out. |  |
