Scott, Be very careful not to get paint stripper in any seems. You will never get it out and it will continue to strip the paint off for many years to come. Most of the time I use 80 grit DA to remove paint. If it's something large like a hood I may use paint stripper, but I stay away from the edges by a couple inches and sand that portion off. The last thing you want after new paint is for it to bubble up due to the paint stripper.
Good luck.
