smitty pretty much said it all.
TAKE YOUR TIME!
Personally I like to touch and feel what im about to spend money on. But www.eastwood.com is a very good website for anything automotive.
As for paint, Global, Shopline, PPG are all very good paints.
I would HIGHLY suggest you prime it. I will give your paint much better adhesion and you will be able to sand any flaws in your plastic out. If you are going to do it, do it right.
My total paint job on my bike cost around 600 bucks. Thats me doing everything and I had quite a few of cracks so I had to buy plastic repair and everything.
If you have any questions you can pm me or write it on here I would be glad to help you out.
Here is my thread, I just got done repainting my bike and there is quite a good amount of info on here.
