Probably a few hundred for sand blasting the old paint off and doing the coating.... a lot depends on whether you want a standard color and whether the bike frame can be combined with other items being painted at the coater. But you have to completely disassemble the bike, do a lot of careful masking/prep, and then do reassembly. If you want it to look stock, you also need to buy and apply all the decals. The economics are pretty poor for doing something like this on a $1500 bike. And it dramatically devalues the bike if you ever plan on selling.
