I will be doing this myself to my Smoke Silver 124 this summer. I will put her in the garage on skates and completely de trim her, then sand her down. Mine needs no body work and has no rust. I plan on using Dupont, although I have not painted a car in fifteen years so I need to catch up on the latest products. I still have a good Devilbiss sprayer which I paid over $200 for more than 20 years ago. I'll be watching your progress with interest.

One thing I never did was leave bare metal exposed overnight, I would always protect it with rattle can primer until I could get back at it. Maybe unecessary but like Neil Young says rust never sleeps.
