looking for spray paint

hi i have managed to get my son a second hand bike, but it looks a bit tired so he wants to spray it black. i wondered if anyone knew the cheapest places to buy a couple of cans of black spray paint, the only place i can think of is halford. any advice would be appreciated.

thanks :)

    or one of the other cheap(not Halfords)car shops,B&Q,Homebase etc,for the best finish I would suggest you use the 'Satin Finish' rather than the Gloss or Matt

    ASDA sometimes have spray paint, probably depends if your nearest ASDA is one of the bigger stores, & they don't have a huge range of colours, but worth a try!

    Can vouch for the poundland stuff - it's just fine for what you want - I sprayed various metal items with it and it covered great. :)
