It's your bike, you can do whatever you want with it. There are three things you should consider though: # Whatever paint you can successfully apply in your garage or back yard is likely to be much softer and chip easier than what came on your bike from the factory. # On the rare occasions thet bikes actually have any collector's value, it's always tied to the bike being in its original condition. The bike has to be really messed up before repainting it yourself is going to improve its value. # Suitable paints tends to give off strong solvents. Use a proper face mask and/or work in a well-ventilated area.
yes there is if you mix acrylic and body paint
You should always use primer first.
If you use a quality primer like Kilz or Bullseye, you should be OK.
You could give it a shot. Try using a spray paint for plastic. Or, use a multipurpose primer to adhere to the cove base. If the adheres ok, you are able to use a regular latex paint.
It should be acceptable. You might want to take the paint to the paint store for a thorough shaking. While there, buy a straining mesh and a clean, sealable container. When you get home, strain the paint from the old bucket to the new container.

I would only use this paint in kitchen and or bathroom areas. Window sills are ok too.

It depends what kind of paint you use. Be careful, and make sure it is completely dry before you use it.
Its ok but you might wanna get a racing bike after awhile
Apollo bmx bikes are not the best, but if you're just starting off they're ok. However, if you're at a decent level of bmx and you have the money, you might want to go for a wethepeople, hoffman, mongoose, archos, mafia, haro, or even make your own custom bmx
Absolutly not. If it's a water based paint just use water. Thinners will destroy the clear coat and expose the paint to other forms of damage
You can not put oil paint over latex paint. Oil is a rigid coating and latex is a flexible coating. When you put a rigid coating over something that is flexible the rigid coating cracks off.
