I am using a paint stripper on most of the metal. I started trying to sand it out, but years on the paint and multiple layers of dead paint had me opting to use paint stripper.
It can be messy, but it has worked to loosen up the paint. I usually put a heavy coat on then use a scraper. Or I have used my angle grinder with a wire wheel. I knock off most of the paint then hit it with my orbital and smooth everything out.
Once done I cover the metal with a self etching primer.
I worked on getting the roof stripped tonight. I will be glad when this process is over, and have the minor dents smoothed out and the cab is in primer.
Here is a picture of my half stripped roof. Had enough for the night, will get the rest tomorrow.
