I would start with 1500 grit. In my experience, 1000 grit actually eats the spray paint pretty quickly. Maybe even start with 2k and that way when you get through to the good paint you're actually kind of just cleaning it up. And then 1500 for the areas that were a little thicker. And then a thousand for the stubborn spots. I agree it's a shame that he rattle canned it, but from another point of view, he protected that other paint for you to uncover and preserve.

Thank you for your documentation and pictures. These kind of builds are my favorite. I like to fix what's there and make the best of it. And if I'm a little bit honest, I enjoy watching the crazy stuff that you are uncovering and getting fixed. Hopefully, brakes are on your hit list before you take it on the road.
