The trickiest part of bike repainting is stripping off the old paint and sandblasting the frame clean. The paint stripper is super dirty so not sure if that also happens in the city. The sandblasting has to be done well so that the new layer of paint will stick. Be sure to get a coat of anti rust as well, and maybe an extra protective layer over the paint. Another thing to consider is that you have to take care not to fill the grooves of threaded bits. If you go to a specialized bike painter they will take the bike apart and put it back together again, which is a sure way to know that they won't fill up the threads with paint. I would recommend keeping an eye on the job if you get it done here at one of the car repair shops to prevent this.
