    Worth now posting the photo of the Atlantic Green Nippy recently discovered. Owatrol Oil another good find for allowing a patina of old paint and steel to remain stable for the longer term. Julian Parker Conservation using it rather than than ANY new black paint for chassis, suspension or other subsidiary items. 
That black looks pretty flaky around the edges, and doesn't look well keyed in/prepared. Building on Mick Hobday's excellent post, it would be difficult, but if you do use steel wool topically with careful fingers rather than a sanding block (which will naturally raze off highpoints) then it might be productive. Especially if you just set yourself 10 cm square sections per session.
It might be good to be in contact with the Nippy owner...although I don't know their intentions.
