Yep, did both the brake reservoir/brake lever perch and the clutch lever perch Used a semiflat spray bomb and it came out good.
Surface prep is the key

Yes. Completely disassembled it and cleaned it really well. Water cleans out the brake fluid. Lightly sanded where the brake fluid had blistered the original paint.
