Re: Best way to remove paint?

I've used flap discs, wire wheels, stripper, sandblasting, etc. Soda blasting would most likely be the quickest and most trouble-free means of stipping the paint off of a vehicle....as long as you wash the CaCO2 residue off the bare steel with some good metal wash. But being as I am a poor white boy from the ghetto....I go to my local ACE and for 7 bucks, pick up a 20/pk of 60 grit PSA discs and get after it with my DA. Takes a little time and makes a bloody mess in the garage, but is effective and cheap for the majority of what needs stripped. For the crevices and otherwise inaccessible areas- I either use a knotted wire wheel on my grinder of do a little spot-blasting with a portable sand blast rig I have.
