can you use any paint to spray a bike?
where could i buy it and how much would it cost?
how much would it be and where would i get it painted profesionally?

You can use car touch up paint fine, just make sure it says you can use it on your frame material (steel, alu, Ti etc). And use a white primer otherwise it takes a trundle load of paint to get the colour right!

Both those cost around œ12 or you can have it professionaly redone for around œ60

spend your money on good laquer and primer. halfords car spray paint will do fine. light sanding between coats 3-6 .

Don't spray it yourself unless you know what your doing. Theres a recent thread in the tech forum about painting.
