This one is totally a rattle can job. You can get pretty good results, as others have said, if you are willing to take your time in prep. Sand the bike really well, clean it throughly before painting. Carefully mask the areas you don't want painted (bottom bracket threads, bosses, head tubes etc.) and take your time. My frame has some scratches, now, but it still looks pretty good considering. You won't have much luck getting paint to stick to chrome, though it can be done.
