Hi Hue

As with any thing you are going to paint , be it car bike etc. It will need a strip down. Other wise paint will creep in where you don't want it and be a bugger to get off.
As for taking apart etc. you will find that a smiple tool kit a few screw drivers,long nose pliers is as much as you need.
Look in this thread it may help you .

I totally stripped my Torro Tiger 1. Barrel out etc, all accesories off, most came off really cleanly. Its a must if your going to respray and it helps in getting to know your tank. Youill also be able to make good any improvements in detailing your tank that you will undoubtibly decide to do as you you start to notice the finer points of the King
