This is what I did on my F-20. It had been repainted at one time and was flakeing badly so I first took off the hood, gas tank, Radiator belts and hoses. then I ran it outside and sprayed oven cleaner over all the painted surfaces and let it sit for about 15 mins then got out the pressure washer and hit it. Took alot of the paint off. I didnt use a real high pressure unit so didnt have to worry about wrecking gaskets. After I was done I let it dry and started wire brushing. Took quiet a while and a few different size brushes but got it done. after I was done brushing I gave a coat of primer to what I had done because it was a weekend prodjet and didnt want the bare metel rusting till I could get back to it. once all was bushed and primed I gave a little paint under the radiator before reinstalling it. I left the hood, gas tank, manifold, tires and rims, magneto, and carb off and painted everything else in one shot. I painted the gas tank, hood, carb, and a few other small parts at the same time then reassemble everything when done. I am very happy with the outcome and am going to do my M is the same mater except I dont need to use the oven cleaner because it never was repainted
