It will be ressurected three days after you apply it. So no.

No. All paint disappears in direct sunlight without a special coating, which costs a lot. It will fade after only a few minutes of being outside.

Seriously .
What do you mean by spray paint your "scooter"? The whole thing, or parts?

I'd spray paint the Pole thing and the bars , Then i'd paint the deck black and other stuff leave it silver .
Sorry, if I said whatever the part was wrong , Only been doing this for 3 days . ^.^
Spray paint works fine on bars if you put a couple even coats and then a bunch of clear coat over it.
Spray paint usually looks like crap on most of the other parts.

what scott said, bars are about the only thing you should. dont listen to the ------s above saying itll fade in 3 days, it wont. however it will chip once you drop it. not worth the money

Or should I buy a "Madd gear ; MGP scooter 2012" and get the blue ?
Because i was going to order a Ultra pro by razor .

Spray Painting Scooters/bars/Parts:
Not a problem with the Bars since most are Steel but as mentioned rattle can paint isn't really that durable so they will Chip.... but you can paint them again whenever you want so not a big deal when they chip.
Grab some 150 grit sand paper and lightly sand the bars
Wipe off the dust.
Spray the bars- light coats so you don't get any drips.
FOLLOW the directions on the can for re-coat times.
Usually you have to re-coat within an hour or wait 24 hrs before applying the next coat. This part makes a big difference.
Apply as many coats as you want but 3 should be the minimum.
I wouldn't bother with a clear coat- the bars are going to get beat up and it is just an added cost that has no real benefit. Just repaint when needed.
Decks: Since they are Aluminum, spray paint isn't really a good idea since the paint does not stick to the AL very good and will flake off, peel off, chip off quickly.
This doesn't mean Al can not be painted-but rattle can paint isn't the same stuff real painters use to paint aluminum so it usually just looks like crap.
You could Powder coat the deck but it is $$ and still isn't chip proof.
So... leave the deck alone and paint the Bars
