I want to have the car repainted in the original colour without removing the engine or the interior. According to the body shop it's possible that the paint will peel off after some time because of the incompatibilty of the new and old paints. The car has been repainted before but the green the PO used is not the original Palma Green and there are some dents and scratches that need to be removed. Rust is not a problem.
So how do I remove the paint? (chemical paste, sander,...) |

Paint strippers of today are weak, and agree you might not have good results. Try different brands. Kleen Strip Aircraft Paint Remover was recommended to me by a body shop friend but haven't tried it yet.
An orbital sander will take paint down quickly, but be careful of any existing filler that might be under the paint as the sander will cut into the filler quickly. |
