Taking apart an Mitsu Ecodan ASHP (to paint it)

[puntloos]

So, a big honking white thing, in a green place (aka garden) is not ideal. Putting a tarpaulin over it- also not ideal.

 

Does anyone know if a Mitsubishi Ecodan comes apart fairly easily so a painter can just strip the white bits and spray paint them? Or will I be left with a few pieces that are anchored to the device in such a way you can never safely spraypaint without hitting sensitive bits with your paint?

I'm sure I saw someone doing vinyl wrapping of heat pumps. 

 

Same technique as they use for vehicles I guess, but they don't need to disassemble to do it.

Ah yes I recall that now

So from this picture it looks like the white pieces 2, 9, 10, 11 are detachable. That seems to only leave the "rear left" bit is a bit less defined?

Indeed I'm aware of this team but I have onsite spraypainting for near-free.. so do I need to go the 'wrapping' solution?
