I used a combination of a sander and a wirebrush on my drill to get most
of the crummy red a previous owner applied. With a mop, I think.  Then I
used a propane torch to char the paint remaining in the folds, around
the lettering, etc.  The painting is well described elsewhere, get it
CLEAN and smooth, prime properly, etc. 

I used a Nissan Silver because I couldn't find any hammertone at the
time.
Nobody's mentioned the color error, though.
