The name that comes to mind is Franklin Frames, but here's a thread about options in the midwest: https://www.bikeforums.net/classic-v...e-painter.html

Another vote for tw. They did an amazing job on my Cryptic after I laid it down.

That being said, all of the aforementioned are great options.

I will say that the communication with tw and turnaround time was fantastic.

Toby was a real mensch and I will use him when I can commission the job again.

So, no experience with the actual work, but he has my vote all the same.
Toby did some frame work on an old steel bike of mine and repainted it as well. It turned out great, and he was a pleasure to deal with.
