Yes you can sand the paint off, shouldn't be too hard.

make sure when you get down to the carbon dont rub through, because there's only 1 layer.

Then it can be clear coated.

Hmmm...

What recommended grade paper? a) to start > b) to finish?

I'm guessing he wants to buy the top secret bonnet in the for sale section that was painted black

Depends how thick the paint is. and if its acrylic or 2 pak

I've done this to a few bonnets, Can be very time consuming.

I would start with 400, go through to at least 1500

Like i said be very careful once you get down to the carbon layer, It will only be 1 layer.

If you go through that its gonna look pretty average.
