Auto places will paint it for you for cheap, I've heard of several people doing that with great results for minimal cash.

With some sand paper, nitro spray from an auto supply store, and some patience you could do it yourself pretty cheap if so inclined.

Why do you want to repaint it? What are the details on it? Pics? Do you have any space or time to do that sort of thing yourself?
