Rattle cans can produce a great finish if you take your time. I repeat,
TAKE YOUR TIME. Make sure it is also gas resistant as not all rattle
cans are.

John, Thanks for the painting tips. Yeah, I figured I'd only need a
small volume
paint gun as motorcycle parts are small. Also, I have a really crappy
compressor, old thing, that takes about 10 min. just get up to 90lbs
pressure and usually only gets up to 60lbs.
If you're painting with a regular sprayer you probably won't need more
than 40-45 lbs pressure anyway. The HVLP types are obviously lower,
I've never used them. Another tip is to have some type of moisture
trap in your air line. A friend of mine who has restored several
Indians says he gets fine results out of rattle cans.

 Lube is a Spanish bike with a German NSU engine. It is my understanding
that some guys that used to work in Germany for NSU moved to Spain and
started the Lube motocycle company, 1950s or so. Not sure of my
history on
this. But anyway, my friend has this old Lube, which is very funky
looking,
and I need a Wintertime distraction so the Lube might be it. It's a
250cc
two stroke. Just this year bought and sold a Benelli Cobra 125cc two
stroke, wish I had not sold her she was way cool looking.
Sounds like a cute little bike; some research material I have at hand
says that they were made from 1949-1965, and that the head of the
Spanish factory, Louis Bojarano, built NSU engined two and four
strokes from 49cc to 246cc into his own frames. When NSU gave up
motorcycle production Lube made their own two-strokes.
Have a great time with it.
