Hi, definately spray! and thin coats (if you mess it up you can always remove with car brake fluid) in my experience (I have had about 20 of these black boxart always seem to be more valuable.

Use a good model paint. If you have access to a motorcycle painter, I'd reccomend that you take it to the shop and have it professionally sprayed.

If rattle can is the route of attack, Tamiya cans are the best. They use a high pressure propellant, and a the nozzles emite a fine, even mist. Make sure can and environmental temperatures are at least 70*, and take lots of time in prepping the parts.
