youll want to..

raw your frame

snad down to give a 'key'

wipe completely clean

2 thin coats of primer

wipe completely clean

3 thin coats of paint

use 2000 grit sandpaper to get rid of the 'orange peel'

wipe completely clean

2 thin coats of laquer

wipe completely clean

polish it.

ready mixed car paint in an air spraying gun will be great but expensive.

rattle can will be cheap and give a good finish if done properly

ooooorrr... get it professionally powder coated... £40 max
