Powder Coat in Atlanta costs $80 for colors which require only on coat, $125 for a color which requires two coats such as base and clear.
Prices are likely higher in California.
Look for a small shop which does custom automotive, motorcycle and firearms. Don't use a job lot shop where your bike frame will be mixed in with 300 lawn chairs or 150 washing machine lids.

Right.
Paint a bike if you enjoy painting but powder coat can't be beat for convenience. Drop everything off and pick it up a week later. Done.
