Armourtex does powder coat. Vaz does wetsprays.
Powdercoat is more durable, but doesn't have as nice a finish. The one paint job I've seen in the flesh from vaz was fine. This thread's only 8pp long, so it shouldn't take long to see what the work he does looks like. Equally there is an armourtex thread you can look through to see their work. My frame was fine, but after seeing the light I probably would get another PC paint job.
If you're happy to pay a bit more for wet paint, then Colourtech do plenty of professional frame builders paint jobs and also do 2pac paint which from what I've read is like a wet paint finish but more durable... altho you have less choice of colours...I think...
