I use PJ1 to paint my frame. It's an epoxy paint that holds up very well. It's like $8 a can at most dealers. Be sure to also put on a few coats of PJ1 clear.

There have been a few threads about painting frames, I highly suggest a search and check them out. They go through the pros and cons of painting your frame, as opposed to powdercoating.

PC prices will vary shop-to-shop, and also how complex the job. If you're looking for a two-stage color process, it will obviously be more expensive than a single coat.

I've been quoted everywhere from $150 to $260.
