Paint is freaking hard, its like sanding 1mm of metal down, we even got 40grid pads, took very very long...

one word:

face-off pad!

:lol: :lol: :lol:

they're harder than paint, but softer than steel. you get some for a angle grinder. probably would've taken about half an hour. but thats only if you want to go straight down to bare metal.
