I bought a mid-price range Wagner heat gun, for projects around the house, that
goes up to 1100 deg F - probably hot enough for automotive exterior paint (but
I don't know for certain), and a helluva lot cheaper than dry ice, I would
imagine. The upside to the dry ice method is no scraping, and
easier-to-deal-with waste.
