Painting a bare aluminum frame

A few years back I bought an aluminum frame at a garage sale... No parts on it at all. Bare aluminum. It's been hanging in my garage, and I'm starting to get a bug to build it up. I have an aluminum fork that's already buffed/chromed... I think it's aluminum, anyway...

What would you do to paint the frame? Would you leave it bare aluminum? Yeah, that'll look goofy.

I don't need it to be gorgeous. Just a single solid color. I thought I might call around to find somewhere to have it painted, and see if i can sneak it in to someone else's batch of stuff getting painted. (I don't have a booth or spray equipment, so I'm guessing it's probably cheaper to get it done somewhere.)

But for aluminum, what do you specify? Any recommendations on the kind of place I should look for?

Thanks in advance.
