73nova original paint removal

[SilentNinja]

Well i have a 1973 nova 350 4 door(yes i couldn't find a 2 door...) that had a vynal top....well i took the vynal off and sanded it down....but that really sucked when you don't have the equipment....but....i got that done and now it is time for the body...i wanted to remove the paint...but sanding is going to suck....i just figured out that it is a lacquer paint...i have used the lacquer thinner but it messed up my rags and it uses a lot of those heavy duty paper towels....is there an easier way to do this...cause i do not have the money for a paint job and a lot of people these days just sand a little on the paint and spray primer over it....this is bad cause i have read that lacquer paint is constantly expanding and makes paint bubble....so....yeah any help?.....i was thinking of getting an buffer and a bunch of rags that go on it, poor some lacquer thinner on the rags, to cover a more larger area....but i think i would blow up in some weird way before i got the car done.....lol
