I've also used Blakely Kustom Koatings with success. Very inexpensive.
They do (or used to do) a lot of OEM frames.

I had a few frames powdercoated at http://blakelykustomkoatings.com/

I'm happy with the results.

I got a discount because I had several frames, but I think his single-bike price was around $75 (includes sandblasting).

Subject: [OBRA Chat] Suggestions for inexpensive paint job?

Hey all,

I've got a 1989 Stumpjumper that I'm turning into a singlespeed "errand
bike". Right now is has a rattlecan paint job. I'd like to get a real
paint job for it but I can't warrant a lot of money (more than, say,
$75) for that. I only need the frame painted-- not the fork-- some basic
color. (or even an ugly "overstock" color)

Does anyone have any suggestions for someplace that offers inexpensive,
utilitarian paint jobs?

Thanks for any info.
Brian

I suggest a powdercoat for a utility bike. Super durable, decent finish
(not quite paint quality tho), best for single color.

Brooker Enterprises can do it (blast and powdercoat) for $100. 37th and
Powell. http://brookerenterprises.com/ They paint for shops around town
and they tend to schedule a bunch of bikes together so find out when they do
their next run.

They are finishing up my fixie soon, and they have painted frames hanging in
the window if you want to take a look. There are other places around town
that can do it, there's one farther out towards 82nd, can't remember the
name. Tom
