Painting a bicycle is not a good experience! Sure, take all the parts off and put 'em back on, that's fine. You can probably get the rattlecan silver off with a solvent like goof-off while you're at it. Clean everything, put it all back together, excellent learning experience. Still don't like the color? Sell it and get one you do like. Much better experience than painting a bike.
