It's your first conversion, I wouldn't worry about how the paint looks. I'm not saying this to be nasty, a first conversion is never going to look amazing and rattle canning will often look worse. Spend your time and money getting it up an running, riding and having fun. I think the first build is all about learning and the experience, you'll probably end up wanting to change a lot of stuff down the line and as loctez said, its more worth while to put your money into some decent parts starting off. Just my two cents.
