Going to assess the body when it lands, either going to sand it down and do a proper respray, or just spray over the existing paint. I would prefer to do the first if possible
If you do decide to strip original finish, I'd recommend using citristrip. Love that stuff, non toxic and can be used inside the comfy confines of your own home. I refinish m1 garands to military spec on the side, and can say that this stuff makes life easy.
Hand sanding a poly finish is a pain in the ass, although a belt sander would do the trick, but don't trust them on projects were attention to detail is a must.
NOTE: Forgot that MIM fender bodies use polyester and not polyurethane, that shit sucks and would probably need somthing like methylene chloride(super stripper)
