I have mine out too.
What is the best way to clean it out (paint is falling off)?
Is it necessary to repaint or is there any other suggested coating?

Take it to a radiator shop to clean.
I sprayed mine with Tremclad (many cars ago)

Just sprayed her with a couple of bombs of Tremclad semi-gloss black.
Looked great.
Had the car for many many years (RS clone)
Sold it
