You can't have done a forum search! There is so much on this - was looking yesterday.

If it is a bike to be used and not hung on the wall then powder wins hands down every time. If you want the best, shiny showroom look with endless choice of colour blends, lining and fancy finishes it has to be wet paint (Argos). But for a far more durable, everday good value finish it has to be powder.
Any decent local coater should be able to do a frame for around £30 - £40 and the finish will be super durable compared to wet paint.
Spoke to Armourtex this week they are super-helpful. £45 for a f&f stripped and coated. That's without a clear coat which is not really necessary (thats's the extra £15 to make £60).
