I have a friend with an FX 7.something, in this nice satin finish. Has held up well to years of abuse. The only way to get a bike nicely repainted without having prior experience would be to go to a framebuilder, or maybe an auto body shop. I looked into it when I was building my brother a mountain bike, but it was too expensive to be worth it. Just leave it as is, and get a new chain and cables (the bad paint will be a badge of honor, like buying a "reliced" guitar, but less stupid). Even if you don't end up repainting it, dissassemble it if you're comfortable. It's good to know how your bike works, and if you need to replace or repair anything in the future, it won't seem as scary.
