Outdrive painting

Anyone repaint their outdrives? I used to have an outboard, which I sanded, primered and painted. It looked ok and lasted fine for a few years. I am hoping to do my Volvo SX outdrive, but I was skimming the manual and noticed a section on painting! It says you must apply chromate conversion to any exposed aluminum. Anyone have experience with this? Is it overkill?
