Re: oilcooler
Maybe low pressure soda blasting to get rid of old paint but care needs to be taken obviously .It would give a good surface for the paint to bite then . I'd want to get rid of as much old paint possible to keep heat transfer as good as possible rather than several layers . Some mild chemical strippers should work , just don't let them sit and then wash off thoroughly .

Re: oilcooler
Hey Phill, I have always used paint stripper , it gets just about all the paint off. Then etch primer and paint. Spend a bit of time with a small flat screw diver to straighten the fins.
