I had very good luck with the razor blades, In my first post is a pic of when I started with a D/A sander, once I tried the razor blades I never switched back!!! The belt line, wheel well edges and the top of the fenders could loose their "edges" very easy with a sander, razor blades kept everything nice & sharp!! Chemical strippers can come back to haunt you & ruin your new paint job so I stayed away from Chemicals.

I'm in the process of stripping mine with razor blades also. It's going along okay but it's been very time consuming and alot of work because the a$$ that had the car before me kept on painting one color over another. My car was originally Silver from the factory then it was painted White, then Red, then Red again. The last paint job was really poor quality work, you can see alot of the sanding marks and the bonding strip in certain spots. It was cracking and peeling all over the place, so now I'm stripping it all the way down to the original Gray color fiberglass. I am still not sure of what color I want to paint it yet, but I am starting to lean towards Silver again.
