More Paint Removal

["captain_hydrogen" <captainhydrogen@xxxx>]

I too am considering a DeLorean that had been painted by a previous 
owner. Painted not because of damage, but because he wanted his 
DeLorean to be different from others. I would like to remove the 
paint and do it the right way.

>From what I know, the car's stainless grain was left intact before 
priming and painting. I have been considering chemical removal, but 
have some concerns:

1. It would be nice to use the same paint remover for the entire car 
and I don't want to risk melting the facia, disolving the resin in 
the underbody, or causing chemical corrosion to the body panels or 
torson bars, so which chemical paint removers (Striptease, Jasco, ... 
etc.) should I consider and which ones should I avoid? 

2. The paint wraps around the edges of the doors and is also on the 
hinges and torson bars. Would the best method of paint removal be to 
remove the doors, hinges, and torson bars from the car and treat them 
separately (ie. blasting and powdercoating the hinges, stripping and 
dipping the doors, and coat and wipe the torson bars by hand) or can 
the paint be removed effectively with the doors remaining in place?

Any and all suggestions are welcome.
