Gotta search for it man...I couldnt tell you the title of the thread if i had to...
It is more work, if its another color, since it has to be removed. But any quality paint shop will do resurfacing on anything anyway - shouldnt cost much more, if at all.
You could always spray paint remover (aircraft) on metal parts and remove it yourself. That shit is NASTY and will literally eat flesh from your bones - so wear 2 layers of latex/rubber gloves (not vinyl...it eats that too)
