harbor fright has 2 electric variable speed buffers one for $40 and another for 10-20 bucks more. that's what you should use you wanna be able to control the speed, you want slow turn the Pad too fast and it will just melt they cost too much for that! the Pad alone is over $20 closer to $30 depending where you get them. They are also not easy to find.

Put some 40 grit on it, lock the DA on grind mode and strip most of the paint, leaving some to avoid excessive gouging of the metal. Now switch to 80 grit and unlock the DA to remove the rest. As soon as paper stops cutting well I toss it. Paper is cheaper than my time.
