re: Stripping a painted piece of furniture

I do have a power sander and certainly don't mind giving that a go. The paint that's on there now was slapped on as thick as humanly possible so it'll take some work.
I'm guess I'll start with a rough grit to remove and a finer grit to smooth out before priming and painting.
Thanks again guys.

actually with a stripper this will work well. with a sander especially if the RPM are too high, it will tend to gum up the paper due to the thickness of the paint.
use this stripper.
water soluble, environmental friendly, smells great, and works really well.
it will dissolve softer plastics though so be careful with the splatter.

Would definitely recommend stripping in lieu of sanding. THe excess paint will gum up sanding pads. Stripping is much easier than sanding IMO and will give you a better finish as you will have difficulty getting into small spaces and curves with a power sander.
As other said I would strip than use steel wool to finish then prime and paint. Would be careful with a heavy grit sand paper as you can leave marks that will require you to take excess wood to smooth out.

Yeah then you need to strip it, but it looks like you've already gone that direction. Good luck. The piece I sanded and painted wasn't a very thick coat.
