I have used several methods of removing paint and I think
the sandblasting is probably the easiest.  The chemical
strippers involve a lot of work to get the ooze off even
though they tell you to just wash it away.  The stripper
also attacks different paints differently and some take
quite a while to remove.  The surface has to be sanded anyway
after you strip since the stripping gook doesn't get off
ALL the old stuff.  Stripping is great if you take the
car to Redistrip but they wanted $800 to do my Sunbeam!!!!
Also if the car has any bondo or fiberglass the stripper
will soak into it making future painting a bear as the
methylene chloride slowing pops off your new paint job.

I vote for sandblasting or even sanding disks!
