If you're going to sand it I would start with something much less aggressive. 1500 would be a good place to start but probably would be slow going. 1000 grit is sometimes is too aggressive and removes paint to quickly so you might find the right grit somewhere in between the two.

I started looking to go to the original paint, but i forgot how much of it was already gone. Plus, the previous owner bondo was cracking and i wanted to repair that. I am in the process if stripping down to the metal. What a process. I have almost complete both doors and the roof. Found two big dents and tons of hail on the roof...how well. I will repair it over the next year.
