I'm looking at picking up an old steel frame beater for a townie bike. Cost about $250, plus I'll put a little more into it when I change the seat, stem and bars, and get some different brake levers and shifter (it's a 1x9). But the paint is beat and an ugly color to boot.

What's the typical cost for a basic paint job from a frame painter? Doesn't have to be anything special, just so I'm not ashamed to be seen on the bike.

I'm in northern Colorado, and I'm pretty sure there are a number of painters in the vicinity.
