To paint it's a full degrease and knock down with 2000 wet and dry paper. Primer, top coat and clear. Easy but practice first. Of course youll need heat proof paint etc for engine parts. The factory is powder coated which is pricey but looks spot on!
Best option is see if someone has black that wants to go chrome! Straight swap! Done in a day perfect finish two happy people instead of one :-) might at least get stator cover, clutch covers etc
