i want to spray my zx6 black as it's beginning to look a bit tatty so what would be the best way to do this as i'm sure buying some car spray paint and spraying the fairing and tank black wont come out very well...

Depends on what you're wanting to spend:

Spray cans, primer and lacquer: Cheapsies

Pay a professional: Expensivies

Buying a compressor and paint gun: Expensivies

I'm sure someone on here sprayed a ZZR with rattle cans (slimricK?) and it looked nice and tidy, but you may end up doing it twice, or breaking down in tears and paying a professional anyway.
Also worth noting a compressor and paint gun with paints might not cost a lot more than paying someone to do it, then you can spray any old shitters you get in the future as well.

Can get very professional finishes with spray-cans if you use the right ones and take a lot of care over it. Including proper metalic-paint, etc.

However, I'd suggest a bulk order of BBQ paint Razz.
