Hey boys any advice for an old hand sander? The paper slides off in seconds?

Buy an orbital sander, or make your own sanding block & hand sand. Hand sanding will be easier than that thing.

They are a very heavy black lacquer paint. I want to do a light colour (probably turquoise) so sanding with the electric sander should have been the easier route.

its going to suck but use some stripper. if your intent is to remove all the lacquer, a sander will not do.
