Depends on what kind of paint it is... .

1) Sanding
2) Chemical Stripping
3) Razor Blade

What color are you planning on paiting it?? If you have the time I would wet sand (this is the only way I have done it) but chemical stripping might be easier....it will take it down to the metal so you can prime and paint and clear coat it and I would take before and after pics and post them

Probably can put it right on. Go to a home depot, or specialized paint place really. Tape off everywhee you dont want to get it, obviously/

don't get striper unless you need it to get down to metal
no need for it
the only thing you need is to rough up the old paint to put a sealer and new paint on it
don't get to much into it because when you mess with those strippers some times you can get screwed
