South West London Powder Coaters

I have an old steel mountain bike frame that has been knocking around in the shed for years, it was my first 'proper' mountain bike back in the mid nineties and since then it's done service as a university commuter, a pub bike, bike to get my wife back into cycling and now that my daughter is old enough, I want to bring it back into service as a bike with a baby seat for gentle rides around the park etc at weekends.
I stripped the components and started stripping the paint ready for a rattle can respray but I don't have the time to devote to getting it right so I thought I'd get let the professionals deal with it.
So, has anyone got any experience of powder coaters in south west London (Balham/Tooting) who can deal with bikes? I've seen a couple near Mitcham - anyone used them?

Ideally I'd like to get a two colour finish with the lugs painted a different colour to the tubes but I suspect that will make it more expensive than I would like so I'll probably get a single colour and maybe paint the lugs by hand afterwards.
thanks,
Mark

Well, after the overwhelming response, I sent out some emails and Adept got back to me with a good price and seemed to have an idea about bike frame painting (ie they know what a bottom bracket is ) so I'll be taking the frame down there next week to get it coated.0
