first... get all the plastic things.. like light,windshields,seats..etc..

then buy a PAINT REMOVER..

after scraping the paint..wash it.. then let it dry... PRIME it...

then your ready to PAINT the new color..

or read read this ---> HOW TO PAINT (http://www.automotiveforums.com/vbulletin/showpost.php?p=2316987&postcount=8)

erm if you got any tools for example a file you could use that, you dont actually need to get all the paint off so long as the laqure comes off then your new paint will have somthing to key too, if you can afford like £3 you could jus get some paint stripper, that will get rid of all of it ! but you have to treat it before you can paint on it, hope tihs helps ! :)
