Today I spent the better part of the afternoon with just getting the passenger door striped and primed. I figure shoot low and then you won't be disappointed. No wonder people shell out 15 k for paint jobs!
I started by sanding with 60 grit, but didn't get far. Then pulled out the paint stripper and buttered it up. Three rounds latter, hit it with 40 grit, then 60 then steel wool. Finally a three coats of rust converter, followed by steel wool, etch primer and a quick coat of acrylic SEM primer. Not tooo bad. At least I can see where some touch up work will be needed and maybe some filler!
P.S. I love my wife. She got me this poster at a garden show she was volunteering for in a beer booth! I like her style!

Heres the door, stripped, the rust inhibited, finally primed.
