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.
