look in your yellow pages or search the internet, on your area, or even post your area up so at least people can post local places, also have a look though past posts, their have been a fair few threads on spray jobs, unless they have been deleted.

i'll second bob jacksons when i got my custom xc hardtail build they painted the frame.
theres a pic here http://lukegray8249.fotopic.net/p26115566.html although the picture doesnt show the paint work off as well as it should, its a blue sparkle effect thats difficult to photograph in its true colour.

look for a local industrial finisher and get it powder coated - much tougher, lasts alot longer, argos paint will chip unless your really careful. or send it to get anodised?

Bob Jackson is pretty pricey, he has a website- bobjacksoncycles.co.uk.

But if your frame is in good condition and your think your keep it then it really is a class level of finish.

Just had a 98 Klien Attitude back from him, purlescent white enamel- SEX

id go for argos, cost me 120 quid to have my full susser done in 2 colours,

somebody mentioned the paint can chip easy from argos, this is true BUT they do offer a super tough enamyl for an extra tenner which is pretty damned tough, i fall off alot i should know

only thing id pull argos up on is the laqure is a bit thin, perfectly finished but thin which i spose is a testiment to their workmanship but i would personally ask them to double up on it its worth the extra few quid

so my 2 colour full susser with super tough enamyl and double laqure cost 120 quid which i think is pretty good value
