Ok I should post this in the mtb forum, but I don't want people to get too serious on me.

I want to get this bike frame, I mean I'm thinking about it. Cro-mo frame tubing, for 70 bucks!! I want to see if I can do a cool paint job on it. Any suggestions for semi-cheap cool ways to do a custom paint job? Like what would I need to lay a base coat and what would I need to draw designs on it?

Don't do it if that's the same one. He made a whole thread on it. Link him, Moron. uh Morton. Merton. Sorry, my bad.

My LBS does custom paint jobs, can't remember the price, but I thought it was pretty cheap. I'd buy used if I wanted to save money...steel doesn't fatigue, so you would most likely be cool.
