You cant do powdercoat at home, the paint is applied electrically to the metal and then placed in an oven to melt and harden, giving a real good hard finish which is superior to spray paint.

Take a look on the web for a local painter.

Should only cost you about £30 for a frame and forks, and they should sandbalst the frame prior to painting for you too
