stripping paint

[daveid]

hi,
I am attempting to paint my own truck and i have no experience in this field but id like to learn. I have been checking out all the threads about how to paint and the steps but i was wondering the best way to strip the paint thats on the car now?
Just a sander on a air compresser?
and also should i go to bare metal?
Im just worried about sanding too much and making the body wavy or have a little dip in the frame.


thanx
david
