One tip - if the paint is in decent condition, don't strip it off. Sand the paint (clear actually) well with 400 wet sandpaper and scuff the tight spots with a Scotchbrite pad. It should all be evenly dull when dry.

Clean it well. Use a wax and grease remover on the parts before sanding if you've waxed them recently, and be sure to wipe down everything well after sanding.
