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,...)

Is the CO2 blasting the same process as the Dustless Blasting that's advertised on My Classic Car with Dennis Gage?

No it's not. Dustless is using water and a abrasive compound, I believe it's baking Soda.
Hence, it's a mechanical stripping.

CO2 is frozen and once it's hits the surface the CO2 is vaporized at impact and the "blast" lifts of the paint.

IIRC, CO2 will 99% only attack the paint, whereas DB has some abrasive "touch" to it but will not remove rust.
