Mistake

So I've been rebuilding an 84 f250, I sanded the cab down to bare metal and painted it. My issue is I used an industrial enamel that just dosent look good at all. The damn stuff clumps up and clogs sandpaper quite quick. Tips on getting that crap off?

I'd use some sort of chemical stripper to get the bulk of it off. I'm thinking if it were fully cured sanding it off would be "easy"---if still a bit fresh that might be why its clumping and clogging.

Most industrial enamels aren't well suited to automotive finishing---two very different uses and environments they'll experience.
