David,
When I re-did my truck at school last year, I used a pneumatic sander
to take the paint off. It goes pretty fast ...it just takes sticking
to it. I took the pain all the way down to bare metal on the bed, as
as long as no one touched it, it did not rust. If you're doing it
this time of year when the humidity is low, that should not be a
problem. Wear a good mask and eye protection though.
