I have just found a photo guide on here and it looks very easy to do. Will take me longer to tension my chain and align my rear wheel afterwards than fit it by the looks of it . My mate at work still hasn’t made me my spacers. Going to have to get my hands dirty tomorrow
It's the Lacquer I'm taking about as you said earlier it's Acrylic. Acrylic paint is one of the softest paints made even after it's cured and can benefit from compounding compression

Note:

Acrylic paint is very susceptible to chemical damage from fuel/brake fluid/Carb-Brake cleaner e.g most solvents but light damage can be compounded out etc.
