Stripping paint to repaint...
I'm starting the process of stripping the topside, and the first step was to get it down to bare gelcoat. I've tested a spot using Aqua Strip and it seems to work well.

I know I need to sand now in order to lay down a primer coat, but I'm not sure where I need to start. Do I start around 200 or 400 grit, or do I skip directly to 1000 or 2000 grit wet paper?

Anyone ever use this stuff?
