With dipping there is the problem of getting all of the chemicals neutralized. If you do not then it starts to rust under the paint.

The old craftsman's and that including the new ones that approach body and paint in that classical manner, will only removed paint by the use of a DA or like wheel/disk. Stripping by dipping leaves a residue that will require neutralizing. Also the media blasting will leave the media in cracks and crevices that will later haunt you with rust under the paint. If you are lucky in covering all the hole and crevices with masking tape. It will have taken less time to DA it. Those who have sprayed painted and not remove the parts but just masked. Have found, no mater how well they have masked. They always seem to miss something. It is, I believe, called Murphy's law.

Those that do showcar body and paint, at least in my state, do not use dipping or blasting to strip off the paint to bare metal. But that is why they get the big bucks. However, to each his own.
