(Reminds me of a method I learned to make latkes or fried chicken without stinkin' up the kitchen and house with oily smoke: make 'em in somebody else's kitchen!)

If the paint is still sticking to the bolt after 50 years, don't remove the paint.

It'll make a good base for your next coat of paint.......
