RE: paint
Never done it before but checkColorrite.Com they have frame paint formost bikes. I know they have matching frame paintfor the 05 gixxers but not for my 03 F4i. Maybe the newer bikes are key. Hope my 2 cents werent completely worthless. Goodluck!

RE: paint
If i was you i would go with powder coating the frame. Its more durable and will hold up longer. If you find a good powder coater you can usually get a good selection of colors to choose from.
