Best way to paint a motorcyle frame without complete dissassembly?

I have a DR350 dirtbike with a lavender frame that I'd like to paint gunmetal grey. The bike runs great and I really don't want to dissassemble if I can help it. What would be the best approach to repainting the frame with the bike still together?

You'll have to take off painted and plastic parts! tape off areas to be painted scratch up a little with sandpaper to hold new paint. paint small areas at a time...
