hi friends!! i bought this 1984 centurion cavaletto off facebook marketplace and love it so much. i got new tires/handlebar tape (not shown here, this is the day i got it), but otherwise its perfectly rideable and so fun. i have been watching some restoration videos, and would reallyyyyy love to paint it. i am not worried about the painting part (my dad will be helping me and he has significant painting experience) but i am concerned about the disassembly and reassembly.

any tips? should i just forget the paint idea entirely? thank you !!!
