What is the best method of removing old paint on our GMC's?
Sandblasting
DA Sanding
Aircraft Stripper
OR?
I don't know if my couch is original paint or not, but a long time body man friend told me that the best way to prep is to take it to metal then proceed as needed....
I think Id rather do that than just "scuff and shoot". I have access to all 3 methods above so its a matter of what you think will work best?
Thanks again...

Razor blades.
seriously! Just like taking a sticker off a windshield.
Get a single edge razor blade holder and zip.
I did my entire Corvette that way, and that thing has curves!
Best part is there is little mess, just paint chips you can sweep up, and no paint stripper goo everywhere.
If you try it you will wonder how the paint ever stayed on!
I have found one time when the paint didn't come off that way, it was really stuck.
but it's worth a shot,
