Re: need to get bike painted
simple,
go to autozone, buy your favorite color, your favorite finish clear coat, a spray tool thing to spray nicer and very thin sand paper.
Then go home.
Take the plastics off your bike
hang them using cord, hanger, ect
carefully spray the paint from left to right 8-12 inches away from plastic(apply thin coats)
repeat 4-6 times, or more if you like (in between coats lightly sand with the thinnest sand paper you can find)
wait for it to completely dry
repeat with clear coat
let it dry overnight
install.

Re: need to get bike painted
you can buy spary paint cans with paint mixed already inside them to your color code for around $20-30 a can. Any local body shop parts store should be able to supply you with it.
