Here's a few tips that will save you some time. Install a flush tee (Prestone makes flush kits that include tees) on the heater hose return from heater core. It's not easy to get back there, but putting the tee back there makes life easier every time you flush.
I don't know what you mean by "painting." The radiator heat transfer surfaces are aluminum, they are not painted. They are fouled on both sides (air and coolant), but cleaning the coolant side increases performance the most, I think. Best to use mild citric acid/detergent cleaners. Flush after using cleaners. On the air side, Aeroguy has suggested using a pressure washer to remove dead bugs, etc.
The thermostat issue is a "risk" issue. As stated on townsendimports, the thermostat is a wear part, it can take only so many cycles. It's your choice how often to replace, depends on how much risk you want to tolerate.
