Well I started this one, so heres how it went for me. I went to borrow a sand blaster and the guy told me keep it, he uses aircraft paint stripper. I bought the non odor one and went to town. I strongly suggest using in warm environment and really slop it on heavy. I noticed if you put it on light, it is not nearly as effective. It took 3 gallons to do an entire 1956 long bed pickup. the directions say to wash off w/ clean water after each application, but I didnt do this. I left it on and just kept applying more over the top of what was already there. once as much paint as I thought would come off, had come off, I scraped everything loose and then used water and a mild detergent to relieve the body of any chemical left overs. I then bought lots and lots of coarse stick on sandpaper pads for my drill and went to town. I "rough" sanded the entire truck one end to the other including the other side of the fenders in 16 hours total. I then moved to medium grit, then fine grit. all looks good.
