I took a corded power drill with a steel circular wire bit and hit that (30 mins) and it was working ok, but what i found worked AWESOME was medium/coarse sponge sandpaper blocks. Just took off all the shine on the paint in NO TIME. This also turned my friends knees bright red on his jeans though lol. I DID NOT get it to bare metal, just rough it up by sanding till no paint is chipping off and there is no shiny clear coat finish. Yeah for 85$ it was a no-brainer to me. 400 for rhino, 100-150 for durabak, and 600 to get someone else to spray on bed-liner. Plus what REAL MAN doesn't like to get dirty working on his vehicle?

Honestly I spent the most time taping stuff off.
