I used an orbital sander attachment for an electric drill, and did the finishing sanding by hand. 80-120-200-400-600(wet). Prolly overkill but turned out nice.

Swifty, what does, 'as if its not enough' mean?

Hmm, maybe I'll use an air attatchment to get the majority off (I'm impacient haha) then do your sanding process. Thanks for the input, i wanna do it right.

Believe it or not, I don't think people sit around all day looking at pics of your car, but you must? In fact I can't remember the last time I saw a pic of it posted. Slacker!

That's what I'm saying man, use the attachment w/ various grits and you'll be done in no time, then just do a bit of sanding by hand to finish it off. I seriously spent no more than 15 minutes sanding...stripping it and cleaning it took way longer than the actual sanding process!
