Painting alloys is not difficult- it all comes down to prep. Make sure you prep the surface you want to paint well, removing old paint, and giving the new coat something to adhere to. When painting, do not rush the job, but use multiple thin coats. I know, I know- this is all common sense, right? That's why it's so easy.
(I have painted my own alloys- this truly is from experience)
Powder coating is more permenent, but painting ca be far cheaper.
