It will take forever to break the bike completely down.

Better to remove plastics and paint the main spar's where they are visible and not worry about the rest... The factory coating should be fine, so if it's a cosmetic change you are after, just stick to the visible bits.

My bike was painted like Trench described, and its great. No problems whatsoever, though it still did take a while.
