I have seen excellent paint jobs with the rattle can. One of my ol Panheads had a custom paint job with art and images. I have seen my frien spray can 'gold leaf' and metalflake. My brother started his auto restoration carrer when he sprayed my 64 BSA back in 69 that looked excellent. Go to the library or some other source and learn the step by step way to paint or repaint. With a laquere paint there is more tecnique but the end result is worth it. I have a 1/2 a$3 paint job on my 59, but I knew in advance that I wasn't taking the time to do it right. On the other hand, I can sprayed a 66 BSA a metallic blue lacquer that I took the time (I was younger) to make it shine. Enamels come out pretty shiny out of the can, but you can't 'work' with it like you can laquer and it may run. You can spray enamels over lacquer but not laquer over enamel. For the fun of it, find a scrap piece of metal and practice. Another benefit from a do it yourself jobbie is if you scratch it while assembly or whatever, you have the know-how and tools to touch er up.
There is no doubt a how to paint on the internet, but nothing beats a book, you can read and learn while you're in bed or sitting on the can!
