How nice a result can you live with? How skilled are you at paint prep (as prep is a big aspect of any paint job whether house or bike)? How skilled are you at applying the paint (the usual thing most will mention)? How durable a result can you live with? Do you have a suitable place to do this smelly and dirty work? What's it's temperature?
Most all home jobs won't have the durability of a factory or pro job. Most home jobs don't have the OEM decals applied.
There's no right answer but a huge range of opinion. Andy
