My understanding is that Steve at Arurum USED to be the main guy at Armourtex.
I'm not sure what happened exactly, but the original premises got sold and Steve went out on his own.
There used to be a website with the Armourtex name for some industrial power coaters in Tottenham but now there is a shop in hackney, whether that's the same people I don't know. In the original location they had a bike shop too...The evidence I've seen so far is that without Steve they don't have the same skills in not hiding fine details under a thick coat, proper masking, protecting threads.
Aurum now does some basic modifications too, I'm getting him to add several eyelets before painting. Will post results here.

I ordered a Dolan PC in gunmetal grey just because they didn't offer any colours I like. I am thinking of getting the frame and fork resprayed and decals removed.
After reading half of this thread which mainly talks about Armourtex I found out that they are not as good as they used to be?
So is the right place to go Steve at Aurum via Cloud 9 or Stayer Cycles if you're in London?
