Roger,
Is there a an advantage to using a paint gun over a rattle can (provided you can get the colors correct)
And is there a guide for this process?
All I know as of now is:
1) Dissasemble
2) Degrease
3) Wet Sand down to bare metal
4) Primer Paint one layer
5) Sand Primer to coarse
6) Primer Paint one layer
7) Sand Primer to coarse
8) 2 Coats of Base Color
9) Sand to coarse
Than apply the Gloss to protect
I'm pretty sure thats no all correct, and a guide would be suberb.

then you use a tack rag to get all the dust off(really need a booth to spray in for best results) then you coat it with the paint youve bought and allow it to dry reassemble and enjoy!

I will most likely end up powder coating it, unless I can get a stellar deal on a professional paint job.
Since I'm going with a flat color, powder coating actually works kinda well. Since from what I understand its major draw back is lack of gloss, and swirls in the paint (which don't happen on flat colors)
Heck maybe I should just Rhino Line the entire bike. Gotta have something to ride when the zombies come
