the bodyshop i know of do bare metal resprays and they strip it it all off
some extent they have the shell shan blasted to start from scratch
if you want to get it down to metal then id imagine paint stripper then a orbital sander to finsih it off
dont know about getting into the little bits will have to do it by hand for them

i cudnt think of anything worse then paint stripping a whole car, u will be high as a kite off the fumes, it will be a fucking mess and u will still need to d.a it all down anyway.

get some phenol based stripper that will work wonders
just watch your skin or you may need a skin graft
