don't know if its useful, but a few years ago, I got a bike sprayed by
a auto repair place (body-shop). They charged practically nothing, and
were highly amused at how light the frame was (a nice, old Reynolds
531).

it may be an option if you're not looking for anything too fancy,

Marinoni is only painting frames that he has made. Something about
decals and legal rights to a name have created problems.
Kind of a bummer because they do great paint jobs.

If you are thinking at all about selling any of your bikes in the
future, you should not be putting budget paint jobs on any of your
early bikes. Unfortunately, thats all people see when they look at
your bike. Your early reputation as a frame builder is important, and
the paint job should cause jaws to drop.
It couldn't hurt to drop Hugh a line at True North Cycles
(manufacturer of frames) in Kitchener, and ask if he is aware of
anyone you could use. He's a terrific guy and I'm sure he will give
you a lead if he can.
Best of luck.
