We had just had our 600 Kawasaki track bike done indayglow lime green and it cost us £250 but that was for frame and 4 wheels.

If you can go round to a local place see if you can get them to put it through with another lot of stuff. That's what my guy does and a subframe is a tenner, main frame about £40. So long as it's black or green, if you want other colours that aren't in constant use it is more expensive.

Also be careful of the mounting bolts. They are fine pitch on curvy.

Triple S are indeed extremely good. You get what you pay for. I couldn't really afford to have my little lot done there so took two rear subframes and a front subframe to my local powdercoaters. IIRC it was around 60 quid for the lot. I took one subframe there last year and it was 40 quid for that on its own, so if you can strip bits off for a bulk go it works out cheaper.

As above for mounting bolts as YC found on one of my frames ...ooops they filled most of the holes to protect them but missed one or two very important ones!

M10 fine taps are expensive. Mask those holes off yourself if in doubt.
