If anyone other than Fisher/Trek does it, you will void the warranty. If you don't care about the warranty, I would take it to a powder coat shop or google "bicycle painting" to look at places that are familiar with the job. Good luck. Don't go cheap, I did on a steel road bike bike and it ended up looking worse.

Here's a bike I painted with spray cans about 4 years ago. It has a dozen or so small nicks and cable rub marks. The bike gets beat up from loose rocks and sticks on the trail and also sits on a bike rack with 2 other bikes while driving to the trail head.
I used Krylon paint and painted over the old white paint. 2-coats primer, 2 coats color, decal, 2 coats clear.
Like others have said, powder coating would be much more durable as well as automotive paints. But you'll have to spend some real money for that.

Where did you get it done? It would cost almost double that just for materials using automotive paint & primer.
