yup. and be careful with 40 grit, thats very coarse stuff, i wouldnt want to leave any marks. i used 120 grit on a da for my valve cover and could still feel small grooves.

Re: taking off paint
just be sure you get all the chemicals off before you repait. I was stripping some stuff to re-paint it but you could see spots where there were traces of chemical. The paint would get mushy and bubble and wipe off in small places.
