I found some info on cheap "rattlecan" sprayjobs with google.
basically the more time and care you spend stripping, sanding, priming, sanding again between coats, the more coats you do then the better it will look.
after your frame was made its factory paint probably went something like this - the bare metal was blasted clean, acid etched, primer, sanded, undercoat, sanded, 1st coat of paint, 2nd coat of paint maybe up to 4 coats or more, then stickers and finally laquered.
