I used chemical stripping on the TR. It's an effective method.
I lightly scratch the painted surface with 80 grit paper taking care not to
touch the metal,
apply a thick coat of stripper with a brush (wear a mask, gloves an
goggles) and cover the
wet surfaces with plastic sheets: with the plastic, the stripper does not
dry as fast and
the sanding helps the stuff penetrate the painted surface. Use a plastic
putty scraper to take off the old
finish, and steel wool on stubborn spots. Rinse with plenty of water. Et
voila, c'est fini!
