So a little update, I did decide to paint the bike myself in the end as transporting the bike was becoming a nightmare, and I'd hate to ship it. So I took it to a local blasters for them to blast it and powdercoat prime it for me. Also, a bit arse about face, but I spread the rear triangle after having it powdercoated, which was a bit silly, but didn't make any difference in the end... that was a scary job tbh! Had to take it out to 170mm before it would spring back to 130-ish. Then I trial fitted a spare wheel I had lying around... happy days!
