All this talk of flame and fire pits to burn paint of fills me with fear; so much risk to the strength of the frame, especially aluminium. Yes PC uses heat but most modern powders are pretty low temperature relatively, and the heat is applied evenly.
I've got a lot of powdercoaters near me but most are pretty rubbish. The wheel specialists are either expensive and rubbish or at best mediocre, and don't do anything but wheels. One of them is a local drug dealer who uses the business as a cash front. If people are going down the PC route then finding out who the local motorcycle builders use help you find the good ones. I've got a place doing my old 222 frame who seem reasonable but I'll reserve judgement for when I pick it up; it's taken them several weeks longer than promised and they've already had to redo the rear end as they'd damaged the finish the first time.
