Default SANDING DOWN ACCORD for paint, need some advice..


So my project accord is comin along good. Im just bout to start sanding down the body and get a new paint job!! Curious to know if I could get some advice on this topic from someone who knows what they are doin...

What grit of sand paper should I use??
What would be the best kind of sander to use? (Heard air circular sander is the best)

Also is there anything important I should keep in mind when doing this?? thanks

Go to the Paint and body fourm for better advice
Also are your gonna want to sayif your sanding for the primer coat or for the first paint coat. Generally i get upto at least a 1000 grit sand paper and always wet sand, it's a huge pain in the butt.... have fun! :D
