To get started I used a 1/4 sheet orbital sander. Now that the body work is done I've been doing a quick pass with 400 grit to rough up the surface and knock off any contaminants. I need a sheet of 600, the 400 is too rough for the last two coats. Hopefully my wife will be able to get to the store tomorrow.

IIRC the original 50-dollar-paint-job guy said that on his Corvair the sander or buffer, I forget which, made a big difference, so he was glad that he had a good one (which didn't count towards the $50, of course).
