CarrieE=> what's the best way to strip paint away, down to the metal?

You've basically got three choices: scraping and sanding, media blasting 
and chemical strippers. All have their advantages and drawbacks, 
depending on your specific needs. Tell us more about what you'd like to 
do and we can spout our various opinions with a little more aplomb.
Are you doing spot repairs, a full pan-off resto, what?
