Yes, that with some emery cloth or a scotch brite pad to take off the tough stuff works wonders. Trying to hand sand an entire frame is a pain in the arse and just creates unnecessary work.

I would for sure put a coat or two of clear coat just to protect it though

Not that much... Go to your local hardware store and see. Canadian Tire, Home Depot, etc...

use paint stripper, dont sand. use the paint stripper then put a few layers of clear coat on. there are several threads on how to do this properly.

wire wool works well, but with sand paper start on a low one like p100 then work up to some thing like p600 or use wet and dry papers.

Woa!! you got WAY to much time on your hands!! the way to go is to sand blast it.. take it to a metal work shop, like machining or somethin, takes like 4 mins... then buff out the grain with emery cloth
