Those things sound so drat good. I'd love to make the ultimate audio/video compilation of one, but without being a pain in the rear end for everyone involved.

Use a chemical paint stripper to take off the paint. Any kind of abrasive method (e.g. wirewheel) will ruin the look of the bare metal. Soda blasting *might* strip the paint off well enough without changing the surface, but chemical stripping is cheaper and easier if you can handle the toxicity.

Once you're down to the bare steel, scour it gently with a brass brillo pad to take off any surface rust, and immediately coat it liberally with Gibbs oil. http://www.roadsters.com/gibbs/ It'll keep the metal from flash-rusting, and it can be painted over. If you want to do any polishing or finishing at this stage, make sure to keep oiling any newly exposed metal.

Finish up with a 2-part urethane or epoxy clearcoat.

You've had zero issue with Gibbs oil and a 2-part clear over top of it? That's pretty drat useful.
