Dash Gauge Bezel Re Do

Hi,
Yes I know there are several good threads I can look for and get info from, but I was thinking of taking a short cut, and ask for step #1... what to use or how to clean up/remove old paint, from this old Gauge Bezel.
It´s for my ´68 FB. I want the upper part to be all black also , so what black paint to use?
Also if you know of a good tread, just out of your head, where I can get some good step by step advise on how to do this.
Thank You for taking the time.
Stefan
