I painted a frame from White to Black with a rattle can, just gloss black car paint from Halfords.
The frame was powercoated so rather than strip it, I sanded it back with a medium fine glass paper and used it as a base/primer for the top coat.
Masked and taped all the threads and hung the frame outside on a sunny and windless day and gave it two or three good coats, leaving 15-20 mins between each coat.
Initially it was just a quick fix but it's held up really well for over a year now. There's a few chips and scratches, but it's an everyday/town bike so that's fine. And not bad for £8 paint and a few hours graft.
