I would be willing to do something like that, but I have a literally about 100+ minis of own to paint...plus I tend toward the drab, all dark colors and the like...
Good luck to you.
I'm a decent painter, but never have time to paint (6 month old daughter takes a lot of time now, sweatshop hours & a long commute at my old job before that.)
I have commissioned groups of miniatures to be painted before. I would do a google search of "miniature painting service" and look through there - you'll want prices for 25-30mm scale figures (your typical Warhammer or Reaper mini) - some services offer painting for 10mm to 54mm size figures.
I can recommend Deane Goodwin's painting service - I have used him twice for large groups of orcs & goblins and have been very happy with the results. He went above & beyond my painting request in a good way.
If you have a huge group, I can also recommend Fernando's painting service in Sri Lanka. Not as good a paint job as Deane, but cheaper per miniature and of decent to pretty good quality. I'd recommend express shipping (maybe $30-40 each way), as it will take a month or so if you don't send it express. Make sure you are very specific in your painting instructions (I wanted some figures painted with "black" and "white" skin, thinking African and Caucasian, but got literally coal black and ghost white... very easily touched up, but still an amusing miscommunication)
If you want a few minis painted to a high standard, there are a lot of good painters out there - go to eBay, search "Warhammer painted" or "Reaper painted" and sort by highest priced and you'll often find the highest priced individual minis are being sold by professional painters.
