Default Bicycle Clean up

hi
I'm looking for some help in getting my little girls newly acquired secondhand bike cleaned up. I got for €5 in a charity shop and its perfect except it has obviously been out in a garden for a year.
I tried cillit bang but the white is just not coming back from the colour 'dirty'. So my clever 3 year old said she wants it to be red -
my questions are:
can I spray the whole bike: plastic and metal with the same type of paint ? If not how will i cover the bits I don't want sprayed?
Will completely red look a bit crap?
There are bits of rust on the spoke-ends - how to I clean that up without scraping the bike?

This is my first project - all help appreciated - sorry if the questions are dumb! Any other suggestions also welcome
thanks
Teeny
