No, you will not need to remove the coating except where you will do the soldering.
I have never tried to make a 2m dipole, since dipoles are more typically used for horizontallly-polarized signals and 2-meter FM is vertical (therefore, the ground plane is a better choice). You could make a simple one with two ~19" pieces of wire connected to the center and outer conductors of some coax, but I have no idea what kind of signal you will get. 73
