An orbital sander, the Bosch 270's are good. Get the discs on ebay in bulk.

Take it right back to gel coat.

I wouldn't use toplac on grp, I'd use perfection, its more expensive but will last longer.

Roller it on and tip it off with a foam brush top to bottom.

Use a paint stripper designed for use on GRP. Then lightly sand to get the appropriate finish for painting. Don't use Toplac, use two-pack and a pad. Got any pics?
