During the 70's I used aircraft paint stripper to prep for my 64 Spyder
restoration. Found aircraft-grade stripper to be the best chemical method. In
1990, when it was time for another restoration, I pulled all chrome, glass, trim,
etc., off, and sent the Spyder to a shop for glass beading; cost several
hundred $$$, but the results were excellent. Perhaps other materials are now
available for media blasting, but media blasting (not sand blasting) IMHO gives
the best results.
