In theory, this is a great idea. In practice..... well - good luck.
I tried just such an approach, and canvassed the local body shops. Not a one would touch it, for any amount of money. Their painters were too busy doing shop work, and no one wanted to fool with a penny-ante side job. Not a one.
Time, effort and money considered, the cheapest way to get color on that frame is powder-coat. And then you'd still have a bottom-end frame that is too big for the average joe.
