Painting polish lip, any special prep required?

[C-unit]

i was told that the paint might not stick since the finish was too smooth. I thought of powder coating it but it will burn off all the silicone. I am just looking to take the face off and painted half of the barrel.

The lip is anodized on top of the polish.

I saw someone did it to a set of meister here. Wondering what he did to the wheel..

wouldn't you sand the barrel after disassembling it to give a "rough" surface to then prime, paint and clear it. then but the center piece back in? shouldnt be too difficult.
