Hello everyone, i'll try to make this as simple as it gets but i'm looking on re-painting my blaster's frame to red, question here is how should i do it?

my other question is where can i find good quality but cheap plastics?
 
How should you paint your frame? Completely strip your bike down, dismantle and clean everything, prep it, paint it, put it back together.
 
I used rustoleum primer and paint. Enamel clear coat. Stripped it by paint stripper and sandpaper for those annoying areas. Then two coats of primer, two coats of paint and two coats of clear coat. Won't last as long as having it powder coated but figured what the heck is gonna get scratched up and dinged up b from riding so i didnt want to spend the extra money to do it. Cost me exactly $47.68 to do. 2 cans primer 3 cans paint, 2 cans of clear coat, 2 cans of stripper.
