Brian, I had some patches of clear that had been gone for ages, and the paint was very oxidized where there was no clear. You are right, in that there is nothing wrong with the color coat, except for where its chalky and oxidized. When I prepped for my paint job, I just removed 90% of the color for thoroughness, to make sure no loose, chalky paint remained.

You are also right in that 180 is a bit much for a random orbital. Tried that, and went back to hand sanding. I have always preferred the control of hand sanding.
