 You might consider oven cleaner to remove the old grime and paint. It
won't leave a greasy residue to keep your paint from sticking... In
fact, it will remove all oils and leave you with a slightly rough
surface ideal for painting. Just spray it down, let sit, & rinse with
the garden hose... Just don't let it sit more than 3 or 4 minites at a
time... Otherwise it will create nasty pits in the metal.
