that's what I've been doing too, I was just wondering if there were any other ways to do it, thanks

I bought this paint stripper at a store near me called "Millers paint supplies" My frame was powdercoated candy blue (2 coat process) and i needed to get most of it off before i sent it to pappy.
The bottle cost me $10 for a quart of it and damn that stuff worked AWSOME. Within 5 min it ate through 2 coats of powdercoat. Its in a black and orange metal can called "wonder wash-off" didnt think it would work, but its by far the best paint stripper i ever used. Spending $10 beats spending $150-225 for sandblasting the pc off alone.

I bought some stuff at Walmart called Airplane Remover. It even took the powdercoat off some shock springs we had. It doesn't smell as bad as paint stripper either and was about $4 a can. They have it right next to the paint stripper.
