Dual action polisher, make sure your pads are appropriate for the compound. Pads types effect the level of cut.
If I can hand polish off red spray graffiti paint off many panels on the barge that says a lot of what can be achieved without a machine.
Potential of fucking paint with angle grinder, aggressive pad, heavy cutting compound and inexperience ... High.
The professionals using the lightest high quality polishing compounds with a machine will remove between 1 to 2% of paint depth. It's easy to get it really wrong.

I hope you are not thinking a "metal cutting disk" with the angle grinder. The cutting disk im talking about is the foam pad. Its what you use to remove the orange peal effect from a freshly painted car. You really should have experience before using them though. I have been using them near on 12 years now. I did how ever, the first time i used one, cut right through the paint to bare metal, so the previous comment someone made was right and i should of mentioned experience is necessary.
How ever, once you have mastered it, you can keep your paint looking like it did from day one....
