NEED HELP! (paint prep)

Hey all,
I need some help. Can anyone tell me EXACTLY what I have to do to get my camaro down to bare metal, & preparation to get it ready to paint including: sanding and or grinding, cleaning the metal, and priming? or does anyone know of a good website to tell me this?

Please help, i want to get this started and I am new.

you really shouldnt take your car to bare metal except where you need too, just smooth all the paint, and get all the clear coat off.

theres this stuff called wash primer that goes over bare metal and seals it from rusting, but Im not sure if it comes in a rattle can.

This is exactly what I am trying to do. There is some rust on it, not horrible, but its covering a good amount of space. I want to get down to the bare metal to eliminate any rust.
