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.
