I recommend a chemical strip of the old paint if possible, and a Dremel wire wheel to remove any rust scale and clean out the grooves. Have some ultra-fine sandpaper ready to do the final "polish" of the metal if you do the wire wheel, though, as you may well plant swirl marks in the metal with it. This is the voice of experience speaking here... Icon_redface
