The instructions SHOULD have told you what size, which the pulley should have a part number on it somewhere. When you find it, google it + Underdrive Pulley. Or post it here. I would find out the stock size for your car and post that. Or the part number at least, so we can decipher the size 
Example if you don't know: 8060620 is a 6 Rib, 62 inch belt. I don't remember what the 8 means. I think there are 70 series as well. An 8050505 Is a 5 Rib, 50.5 inch. Some list it as like 60620, or I think 6208060 as well.
I think the general change is 2 or 3 inches. So if it's a 62" then you'd want a 60 or 59". So 8060590 or 8060600. Alternatively, if it's a 1/2 inch to start, then it'd be like 8060625 to start, then 8060595 or 8060605.
Hope that is at least a start for you. And I hope I didn't insult you if you knew all that already. I tend to dumb things down too much, assuming people don't know, but it covers all the bases, if you follow me.

Carb cleaner, or brake cleaner should take the paint off. Otherwise, soak it in parts cleaner over night. And please be careful, parts cleaner is VERY caustic. I got very mild chemical burns on my hands last time I used the Something-Berry white with red and blue striped, brand. Rubber gloves didn't help much. They lasted a short while before pretty much melting and falling apart lol
