Hi Guys,

I want to start work on a little yamaha that has been in my garage since 2008.
It's a little enduro bike and off course the engine is rather scratched and beaten up.

I would like to know what is the best way to restore these engine casings.
I assume the general steps would be the following, please help with the details of each step:
1. Clean casing
2. Fill scratches
3. Smooth/flatten fills
4. Basecoat?
5. Aluminium finish paint?

Here is what I am working with:
