color rite is good stuff, their rattle cans are pretty good too in fact I'm using a can of their stuff right now to spray the number plates on my bike
they're acutally factory matched paint, so you can get the exact colors used on pretty much any stock motorcycle from the last 20 years lol

Try and paint it in an enclosed space. Don't take it out to the front yard to spray it. If you can spray water on the ground that will help prevent some dust. You can get damn good results out of a spray can, but it is pretty easy to mess up.

if i can put my .02. Do not go spray cans. Get a professional to do it or else use an air brush so that you can mix hardener with the paint. It will help the paint be tough and less liable to chips and scratches.
