Paint Stripping

I'm thinking of having the paint stripped off of my 91 with soda blasting.
Has anyone done this or are their any opinions? I sure don't want to use liquid stripper.
Thanks,
Gene

How many coats of paint ? If its just factory paint, it sands off easy. Soda is nondestructive but expensive and must be completely removed and nutralised before paint.

I would suggest soda blasting. Sanding does take the paint off, problem is if you get too aggressive with the sand paper you'll start erasing the body. This isn't steel, you know.

Sanding it is actually very easy.

Thanks, to all for your response. I guess I'll be sanding, there isn't anyone near that does soda blasting. I'm not looking foreward to the bumper covers.
