I'm not a body man, I can only work in approx. 2 hour time frames. I have 7 in and 41/2 in grinders and misc sanding blocks and drill discs.
What specific disc (grit) and/ or tools should I get to remove paint from cab the quickest? What specific primer should be applied to the clean metal? Haven't decided wether to use urethane or acrylic enamel paint which requires different prep. Sandblasting is not an option except for small pieces.
Thanks in advance for for input!

Thanks, I've found a lot of info in the search area. No other suggestions needed at this time. Should have looked there first.

YouTube has a few guys who go through the whole process. I like this guy...the videos are concise, to the point, and make sense, with pretty good audio and video.
