That "Spray.Bike" stuff looks promising but unfortunately I don't think it's available here in Canada.

Unfortunate if you cant get the stuff in Canada.

Ive done 3 bikes with spray.bike paint and think its a great product.
- late 80s steel road bike for me
- late 80s steel road bike for a teen i know
- kids 24" MTB for one of my daughters.

90% prep 10% painting. That is for sure true.
The Spray.Bike process has a zinc base primer, color over that, then finish with clear coat. its pretty straight forward.
The oldest painted one, my road bike still looks great. No chips, wear away, or anything like that.
