To strip or not. to strip...
I've never claimed to be a paint guy however I've done it chemically, media, Da, and I believe if I were to do it again this would be in my arsenal. My only advice is have a plan mapped out as to which products you are going to use (primer, sealer, paint, etc.) and stick to it. Don't veer off course in regards to that so there is no question about compatibility. Stripping an old car is just like peeling an Onion..... Lot's of layers and unexpected adventures.
The Contour sander is supposed to not put heat into the metal. I have never used Soda blast and there are of other methods I am sure people will chime in on. It's a messy job no matter what but I think this sander can do the bulk of the work the quickest without damaging the metal....
