A place to get your bike painted?

My buddy does graphic work, and has a guy who can prep/clear. I think to do the prep/clear is about $100-$150 per panel, not sure what my buddy would charge for the artwork, but he is usually cheap, a couple of the bikes he has done:
I know it's not what you are probably looking at, but for a little bit more you can turn some heads

When I was brand new I dropped my bike at a standstill . Spent some time re-painting and fixing it up. Shortly afterward, dropped it again riding over some gravel. Had to re-do the work.
Luckily those repairs were cheap and I did all the work myself, so it wasn't too painful... but I realized when you're new, you should really only worry about fixing any actual damage (i.e. bent levers) and don't stress the cosmetic issues too much.
A few scars add character. Don't worry about it. Ride safe!

What others have said, don't bother painting it unless you're about to sell. Put that money into keeping the bike actually running good.
It's a beginner's bike with some battle scars now. Big deal!
