Paint removal

Is there a faster way to compleatly strip a frame, than using sandpaper and a wire wheel? Is there any chemical paint remover that works well, or some other quick way? I am fixing my old go kart.

Thanks,

Sand blaster........

I agree the sand blaster will be quicker, just need to use a fine sand so it wont leave big pits in the metal. most rental stores have them for rent or you can get a small one from eastwood.

the chemical stripper works but is very messy and you need a resporater and thick plastic gloves
