Step 2Remove all the bits
First off you well need to remove all of the parts that well not be painted, such as the seat, the shifters, cables, ect. Pretty much you want to take the whole bicycle apart, don't loose the screews or anything, this is were ziplock bags are handy and if you find something that is very intrecate it always helps to take photos of it so you can use them as a reference when it comes time to put everything back together.
For the most part you are interested in the frame, the handlebars and goosneck(the thing that connects the handlebars to the front fork), and the seat post, for painting. If you want you can also paint some of the smaller bits like the brake calipers, you well have to take them apart so you can just paint he arms.
This is also a good time to take stock of what needs replacing, like the brake cables and handle bar grips.
