Most paint shops don't like small 'one off' jobs. Too time consuming with little profit. Whereas I know someone out of Auckland who does just the thing you're after and courier rates are reasonable.

The booth doesn't necessarily have to have a bake cycle.
The paint shop isn't going to bake a small job anyway. No way they'll be heating up a 120-150 cubic meter room to 60'c for 45 minutes on a job that's small.
Small stuff is usually squeezed in with a bigger job, or accelerated with a fast catalyst, then placed under a heat lamp one the paint has flashed off.

If you're doing a frame, I'd be looking at powder coaters as I believe its a better finish for frames and I've found the cost is very close.

Some powder coating is worse than two pot.

Paint is easier to fix (chips and scrapes) and remains more 'pliable' than powder coat so is more resistant to said chips and scrapes.
Lost number of how many motorcycles we've rebuilt and have always gone with powder coating since the late 70s when we gave up on chroming frames. There is an awesome powder coater here whos been around for years and will even do the odd custom job.
