even a good rattle can job is not cheap........ easily over the amount you paid for the bike to do it well.... meaning either strip all the current paint....or at miniumum scotchbrite it the entire frame really well... then primer, then your finish.
for a $40 bike......just wipe the frame down well with acetone to clean it and then use BBQ paint and expect to repeat the process every so often
