I want to have the car repainted in the original colour without removing the engine or the interior. According to the body shop it's possible that the paint will peel off after some time because of the incompatibilty of the new and old paints. The car has been repainted before but the green the PO used is not the original Palma Green and there are some dents and scratches that need to be removed. Rust is not a problem.
So how do I remove the paint? (chemical paste, sander,...)

Do these Norton wheels come in various "grits"? My tub is largely stripped, but I've got a bit more to do to completely clean up the body before I can really evaluate the metal work necessary. My concern is the possibility of removing metal with the paint. On my driver's side front fender, I can feel ridges on the bare metal where a PO apparently used a pretty aggressive paint removal method and took some of the metal with it.

The blue one is softer the Orange one is much more abrasive.. I also have a black one from klingspor that looks to be very aggressive. I will use that underneath.
