I have a small compressor so I used a 5" Dewalt adjustable speed orbital DA sander with #80 discs to strip my Vista, worked fine, just takes some elbow grease. I inquired on the autobody 101 forum and that is what was recommended, the pros say always go to bare metal if you want a good job. I use lead for repairs and transitions (easier than bondo) so it has to go to clean metal in any case. Buy discs in bulk,it will take a few, lots of prep-sol or equivalent for cleaning. I then primed with 2K Kirker epoxy primer, Astro Evo LVLP (low volume low pressure) gun works great with a 5 horse compressor and is cheap, 1.8 tip for primer.
