respray a frame

You could use a compressor and two pot paint.
It has a catalyst to harden the paint.
All paint finishing is improved by heat.

The heat book is to bake it eg baked enamel.

If you are going that far.
Photograph all your decals and get a photo vynl shop to make you new decals [ unless they can be sourced ].

Strip the frame completely to bare metal.
Etch prime it, undercoat, then about three coats of top coat depending on what system you use.
Translucent candy type finsishes over metallic bases are more done by eye.
