I have a Dig Dug cab I'm stripping black paint off the sides . I'm using 3M Safest Stripper . Any tips on using it ? I first used paper towels to rub the paint off which does a good job but it takes forever and wastes alot of paper . Next I've tried using a plastic paint scraper tool which I sanded down the edges to make it really dull so not to damage the side art but I think It has left some marks . Anyone have an easier way or is this pretty much the method .
 
I used CitriStrip and a plastic paint scraper and it worked great...

I've used 3M SS before - coat the paint with it, let it sit for a few minutes and it will loosen/bubble then just wipe it off. Different paints require different times - test on a section near the bottom with no art. I think it won't work on some (oil-based?) paint nearly as well as latex.

Ah - here's one i did with 3M SS - it was painted black when I got it:
