As stated, clean (I used a strong degreaser and a steam cleaner), sand (final prep sanding was with 400 grit wet sand), mask, prime (used an automotive self etching), and paint (used Imron paint). I'm not sure what class it fits in. I got it from a friend that uses it to paint his airplane (crop duster) with, so maybe it's an aviation paint. Masking was easy since I completely disassembled the motor before hand.
