removing paint



Hey all,

What are the best methods for removing paint from large body panels.  I 
have been doing it by hand with a sanding block and 220 grit sandpaper, but 
it is taking forever.  I have an air compressor and 2 air sanders, but I am 
unimpressed with the results of using them.  One of them is a really cheap 
one that my wife bought for really cheap (though even with that she paid 
too much for the piece of junk), and I have a nicer one, but it requires 
about 90 psi to operate, and my compressor will only put out about 60-65 
psi at a sustained rate with the volume of air that the sander 
requires.  Needless to say it works ok until the sandpaper touches the car 
at which time it slows to a stop without having done much.

What do most people use for removing paint?
