how to: repaint your bike

just as a side point...if you know anyone that "races" Radio Control Cars or flies RC airplanes, they might have a compressor and internal mix airbrush you could borrow. They might even be willing to paint it for you. There are also a lot of colors in the hobby shop that you can't find other places.

You might even try ebay to buy a compressor then resell it when you're done.

For the same color blue, maybe a little lighter, (see pic) would you use light or dark primer, or does it matter?

OK....I have heard that if you take aluminum foil and rub it on rusty or pitted chrome, it will somehow cover the spots and give the area a lot better look. I have never tried this and personally don't see how it would work, but I have heard this idea for years, so I guess it wouldn'thurt to try it.
