My 2004 Enduro is in need of prettying up. Because I'm the original owner I'm a tad nervous about the warranty, do Spesh have an approved paint shop in the UK?

If I'm worrying unduly about a six year old frame, would I be better served getting it powder coated or painted? Would the baking process of a powder coated frame affect the integrity of my frame?

Argos racing are approved by Santacruz and Trek if that helps.

Thanks for the reply... Argos Racing are at the top end of the price range and I've heard very mixed reports of the durability of their finish. I'm not going to spend £160 for a paint job unless it's of the very highest order.

My local place (Mikrish in Stroud) painted my frame for £60 all in and they did a good job.
