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.

I sort of agree. The body is easy to strip with DA or Discs. But the cracks and crevices in the trunk, where I will be blasting, could never be properly prepped with a disc product. I have spent three long days doing the removal with disc and it is good, but not great. It would probably not re-rust in my life time, but I am just anal like that. Yes, with Murphy's Law, you are correct, that sh#$%it gets everywhere. I will let you know how it goes in a day or so after I am finished. I am not looking forward to it as it is a crappy job, but someone has to do it.
