Cost about 8$ a can. Take your time because the stuff is thick. But you can do it properly. If you are going for the shiny finish, take some 400 wet'n'dry with water to buff the surface between each coat. Helps smoothing it out and prevents from having some ugly uneven spots.

I tried, using gloss coat spray paint, both Krylon, and Testors.. also tried airbrushing, but the finish for both isn't good and the paint can peel easily especially with places that are constantly rubbed/in contact. I sanded it already with grids as high as 2000 with/without water... i also used an aluminum polish, but its only a temporary solution as it starts to oxidize in a few days.
So, im looking for some professional services that can somehow permanently seal the frame so it remains shiny.
