Ok, so I began a little test yesterday of taking down the paint on my Runner. It is the original coat from the factory and seems to be coming off ok! I tried 80 Grit with a 8 hole orbital sander. I have a couple questions for you folks:

1. What is the correct Grit to take down the paint?
2. Should I take it down to the factory primer or all the way down to the metal?
3. Would a simpler way (a friends suggestion) be to use a spray on paint stripper?
4. What is the best primer to use?
5. What needs to be done to prep the cap and to paint that?

I am going to be taking it to be paint way down the road however I want to get the ball rolling for the prep. I will be doing a Bright Sun Beam Yellow with Flat Black accents.

Any expereince y'all have would be appreciated! <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/kewl.gif" alt="" />
