What's up guys?

The previous owner of my LEX 220, spray painted the whole engine with high temp black spray paint. Do any of you know how to remove it from the engine easily?

I wanna do that, and then use some fine steel wool to shine it up and get the dirt and grime off of it.

I'll post before and after pics when I'm done tonight :)

Air craft paint remover and a wire brush or wire wheel?

Before you take the engine apart, I'd just plug the intake and exhaust and media blast it.
