today I found my dream bike at a yard sale for $8 (it's an old schwinn). it needs a little work (it's ride-able but I plan on restoring it to look brand new) and my boyfriend is going to help me with all that, but neither of us have really painted a bike.

so, what kind of paint do you use? I want it to be shiny, possible have a little shimmer for depth (like car paint). I want it to look good, not like I got a spray can and went at it. so for a professional look what type of paint should I use?
 
Go to a hardware store and they wil point out all the paint you need you more then likely need a primer, paint and a top coat (cant think of the name at the moment). Lowes/Homedepit will be able to tell you what will work the best and how much you need. Skip walmart and other stores like that for projects like these.
