You can prep to your heart's content. I probably won't go through all the trouble. I guess I'd simple green the whole thing and make sure there's no oily spots, and maybe sand down the roughness on my clutch cover, and then just go at it. Afterwards I'll go over the fins with a sanding block to make them shiny again. But the engine won't get even close to the same treatment as the wheels. As for masking, painter's tape, newspaper and cardboard do the trick. It doesn't have to look pretty. It just has to block the stuff you don't want paint on. I don't worry so much about overspray on a 15 year old bike.
