Good question!  Just meant all as opposed to only a single part - the ones that are usually a color (not engine, pipes, handlebars, etc)

Well, I have had prtty good results doing it myself with an aerosol can. Back in the UK this was always a disaster because the cold weather wouldn't allow the paint to dry fast enough. But here, when the weather is hot ( wait for cold spell to pass ) the paint drys super fast and gives much better results. Provided you mask everything properly and don't spray on too much at a time you can get very passable results.

 

Obviously, if there is a paint shop where you are willing to do it , so much the better , but whenever I have tried they are busy and want me to leave the car/bike with them for several days. Not convenient.
