insulate between the joists,also make sure you use a vapor barrier as well, but I would caution you about painting the plywood floor,
1. it is ususally not finished plywood, you will get splinters
2.if you try and sell your house they apparaiser/bank will not accept aplywood foor.

This day in time plywood floors are called sub-flooring. If you go to sell your house no one will be able to get a loan because it will be called unfinished and you don't want that to happen. If you can't afford hardwood flooring just put down more carpet. There are places you can get good deal on carpet, pad and installation. You can choose any color you want and can get nice carpet for a reasonable price.

The best place for insulation is between the floor joists in the crawlspace. If you don't have any you should definitely put some in there or your feet are going to be VERY cold this winter on that bare wooden floor.
