Re: Removing paint

I tried both on my car and found the sandpaper to be the quickest. The stripper took forever, was messy and still needed to be sanded to get the final layer off. It was also expensive. My biggest problem with the sandpaper is that I have an air powered one and eventually my compressor couldn't keep up with it. I thought it was a faster process over the chemical though.

I tried some of the paint remover disks in my angle grinder and that also seemed to do a really good, quick job. I don't know how long they last vs the sandpaper for a final cost evaluation though.
