If I hav eread the engine number correctly 78 01 09 06 equates to 1978 Jan 9th the 06 indicates plant and assembly line. see Briggs & Stratton website for information about engine numbers.
To paint or not to paint will always be difficult to answer. It is your machine so up to you. -

Spark plug recommendations as follows.
4/2 2.4hp Lodge CN
4/3 3.5hp Lodge CN

6 5.5hp Lodge CN
Looking on the Green Spark Plug company wevsite they list Lodge HPN, NGK A5FS and Bosch MA95T1 as alternatives. Lodge CN is out of stock. -
