You can get plastidip in spray cans and do it yourself.

IMO, Plastidip is not really good for painting anything...here is the procedure i follow:

  1. Scuff up/sand existing area if already painted or if raw metal, prep and apply chemical conversion coating
  2. Rinse with water and dry completely with clean, dry cloth
  3. Apply 1-2 coats of self-etching (if you didnt prep/chem convert before), epoxy-based or regular spray primer (automotive brands usually work best)
  4. Apply 2-4 coats of enamel or epoxy based spray paint, sanding (with 400-800 grit sandpaper) and wiping in between coats.

In terms of brands, there are several good ones out there:

  • Rust-Oleum
  • Dupli-Color
  • VHT Paints
  • Krylon
  • 3M

What hardware/big box stores do you have around you? I can point you to what good brands are at what store.
