Strip everything off it that you feel comfortable disassembling and tape up the rest. Just use a can of glossy black Krylon or whatever and spray it right over the original paint. Use a technique called a tack coat. That is when you initially just spray a very light coat and let it sit about 5-10 minutes ( depending on humidity), and when it's just slightly tacky then spray a normal coat.You'll
