well since my DM broke I decided to take its bearing and beefcake my speedmaker and i would like to paint it but not alot, i was just going to paint parts white to make it look like a chain-chomp since it is already black. so any advice before i do this would help.

If you beefcake your speedmaker, your gap will be too wide unless you buy 2 of those half spec bearings
