I painted mine myself, using PlastiKote Bright Red #1120 as that's a very close match for Ducati Red.

If you use their matching grey undercoat and laquer, you get a very nice finish.

The trick, as said before, is to get the panel as good as possible before painting - sand, fill, sand, fill, etc. Then primer it and work out any imperfections. Then paint it, and again sand it down where it needs it. Finally finish off with some laquer.

Don't rush it and it will look good - leave plenty of time before coats of paint otherwise it will run and you'll be back to square one.
