I am going through the process now. The aircraft stripper does work well. You have to use several coats to get all the paint off. However, I caution that if the frame is nice and you want it to look like (or close to) a brand new factory paint job, don't do it yourself because you will be disappointed. But if you want the satisfaction and fun of doing it yourself, don't care about high quality and want to save some money, do it yourself.

And if you repaint it, definitely wet sand between coats. Makes a huge difference.
