I used the regular aircraft stripper yesterday. Takes the paint right off down to primer. Primer then needs to be scrubbed off with lacquer thinner and steel wool / scotch brite pad.
Since it does not go through the primer, no problem with it penetrating the glass.

The body shop removed all the paint off of my 68 down to the fiberglass. All the paint was lacquer. From all I know, they removed it all with sandpaper..either manually or with power abrasive sandpaper wheels.
I'd think that removing paint from old Corvettes with liquid paint removers would be dangerous. The old cars have many, many microcracks in the body. Once a liquid paint remover gets into a microcrack, it won't be possible to effectively repaint the car.
