My advice I would buy a hvlp gun and paint it. Harbor freight has some very inexpensive ones that do great,thats what I bought to paint my 1200 with if you do this also get a respirator for painting and some throw away latex or similar gloves ,wear a hat and long sleeves or coveralls. If you have rust your going to need to get the parts sandblasted or use something to get the rust off with down to clean metal to you can prime. A Da or orbit sander will work Where the paint is just faded not rusted I would sand it smooth (take the shine off) Always clean the surface after sanding and before painting,the quality of your paint job is only as good as your prep work. After I primed mine I used a gray scuff pad from oreillys to smooth out the surface before painting. Get an old car hood or something to practice on first. I'm no pro painter,but if I can do it anyone can!
