tou could use paint remover spray. im not sure how it would work on car paint, but a long time ago, when i had a big goofy spoiler it was painted and i used that paint remover and the paint just lifts off the metal in long sheets, its really cool...BUT CAREFUL dont get ANY overspray!!!

you dont have to take all of your paint off to primer your car.just wetsand the clear coat off with 400 grit sandpaper. make sure you get automotive 400 grit, dont go to lowes or home depot.
