Without breaking the bank, good rustoleum should do the trick for the frame, I'd prime then shoot.

As for the body, are you lookin for a gloss finish, or more of a flat finish to match your frame?

Ask fazer1sniper, he is one who has shown his talents in the area of painting/fabbing....

Question: Are you going for gloss or matte finish? Either way, prep is important. On the frame, get a green pad and rough it up. Clean it with a degreaser or just mineral sprits. Let it dry and rub with with a clean rag. Stick with one brand of paint, especially if its gonna be a rattle can job.The DupiColor from autozone and pepboys is of a good quality for can paint but it's almost all high gloss. Some of the reducers in differnt brands are noncompatible and could have a bad reaction. If you get orange peel in one part of the job it can spread like cancer and you're back to square one.
