Removing paint from a panel using an orbital sander is the safest idea. Use 40 grit sandpaper for the quickest job. As you would be using the orbital sander for a prolonged period, wearing anti-vibration gloves might be a good idea. If you don't wear gloves, your hands will just feel funny for a bit afterwards because of the exposure to the vibration.
