The only thing I'd worry about getting down to bare metal is where it's rusty. Feather the edges and prime it. You can use the aircraft stripper and blast it off with a power washer. You need to dry it and prime it ASAP or it will rust. When I painted my 1200 and I'm going to do the same with my 1211 when I do it is use a DA or orbit sander or wire wheel on the bubbled or rusty spots. The rest I scuff it up real good.
