Hi Guys,
Do I need to strip off the factory paint to repaint my engine? How can I do the easiest clean up that will let the new paint stick? Thanks!

Hello, Rod, and WELCOME to KZR! :)
We're glad you're here! :cheer:

Could consider soda blasting, which should remove the loose paint.

There's a good article here in KZR forum on making an inexpensive quick and easy diy soda blaster. An air compressor is required.

Good Fortune! :)
