Be careful there! Stripping paint down to bare metal is a sure way to get instantanious rust! If I were you, I'd at least leave the primer on there.......... but that's just me.

I am stripping it to bare metal and using a degeaser that cleans the metal well. Then priming it Immediately.

If you are sanding to bare metal I suggest using a vara/etching primer for the first coat of primer. Etching primer sticks better to bare metal than (for example) your standard gray poly or water based primer does.

It's been a while but if memory serves, it's enamel and was approx. $25-30 quart and $10 for the activator.
