Aircraft stripper or any kind of stripper is messy, and expensive if you must strip the entire vehicle. Sanding is also expensive, and a lot of hard work.
If you have your truck taken apart, it's a lot easier to have the parts sand blasted. Some people will disagree because they claim it damages the metal. I've been sandblasting parts for years and when done correctly it leaves the metal textured for primer.
Soda blasting is something to stay away from. Use it once and you will understand why.
You don't have to remove all the paint, you can sand it down to get it rough, and apply an epoxy sealer over it and then lay down some good 2K high build primer within the recoat window and block sand the 2k or work you parts to remove dents and imperfctions in the metal. The body filler will stick to the 2K and Epoxy primer.
