Get some thinners on a rag, will clean the spraypaint straight off.
Make sure you rinse it off well after tho!

new thermostat
new pipes in the front
cooling system flushed
oil drained
new boot lid
new engine lid
new lock on the boot
head rebuilt with all new gaskets and seals
radiator fans removed, cleaned and painted with hammerite
new cancer bars sanded, primed and painted with hammerite
