I used a cheap variable speed sander from harbor freight, 8" 3m sanding pad and 8" 3m 80/40 grit disks.

check out this link:
http://www.autobodystore.com/strip_&_paint.shtml

took me alot longer than 8-12 hrs, I had 4 layers of paint and factory primer to cut. This is why i used some 40 grit to knock it down alot first.

pm sent, you can see the differnt stages of my stripping and priming in the links i sent you.
