strip the paint w/ Jasco's Aircraft Paint Stripper (brush on, wait recommended time, wipe off. reapply as neccessary.)

then you'll have to buff like said above. sanding w/ all those grits takes too much material off and is more work than needed.

go to www.eastwood.com to loook for supplies.
they have a large assortment of refinishing/buffing/restoration products and tools.
you'll prolly good if you got a set like this:

its ~$65 and comes w/ the clear. i think all the buffing tools are made to attach to a high speed drill.
take your time and you'll get much better final results.
post pics when done.
