The time spent getting a decent result. The cost of paint. The value of the current secondhand bed, if in good nick. Are you sure this is a worthwhile project?

[tim...]

define decent result?

average result will be sufficient

7.99 a tin. How many tins required?

to someone else, 20 quid

to me, it still worth what I paid for it (which wasn't the current price of

79 quid)

compared with leaving it black? - dunno

Once you have badly over-painted it, surely it's value, even to you, must go down? :)

Unless you do a proper coach-painting job, it will look pretty poor.

Trouble with spray painting narrow sections and tubes is that most of the spray goes into thin air and becomes very expensive using aerosols, using a proper spray painting setup makes a lot more sense. Aldi/Lidl often have compressors and spray guns on offer though for a one off it does not make sense. I think I would simply hand paint it.
