I agree with the others about taking it to an auto body shop, and before I did, I would not only remove the tensioner and other parts, but I'd go on ebay and order a set of the decals for them to put on over the paint and under the clear coat!

There are places on the web that you can send the machine to and have it painted, but when you consider not only the cost of the paintjob, but shipping both ways, all of the sudden you have more into the machine than it would ever be worth... just something to think about!
