I'm about to try with spray cans, but I'm not expecting a professional finish - for that you'll need powder coating. I've seen pretty reasonable home spray jobs, but they look like resprays.

First of all welcome to BFC, as for your painting you bike can of spray paint will do the job, but if your a little picky you can try those automobile Paointing co. and maybe ask them to do a quick paint on your frame, will have professional touch if its sprayed like the cars have theirs
