[DML] Removing the sacrilage from my Delorean...any suggestions?

["brandelorean" <brandelorean@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Everyone,

Thanks for all your replies on almost every possible issue.  Even 
though I don't always ask the question, someone does and I get an 
answer (yay). 

Here's my question...As I said before, my Delorean is painted dark 
blue but they didn't do a very good job on the paint.  They seem to 
have used a latex sticky primer that isn't doing much because the 
paint is flaking off the stainless.  I recently tried using a 1750 
psi Pressue Washer to try and get the paint off, but it took too 
much water for just one little spot.  In Colorado, this wouldn't 
look good amidst the last 2 years of drought lol.  Now someone I 
spoke to suggested using up to a 5000 PSI pressure washer to 
possibly get the paint off.  Would this be a good idea?  

If pressure washing doesn't work, would simply using a razor blade 
and gently scraping the paint off hurt the Stainless Steel?  I've 
scraped off a small unnoticeable spot and I can see the pretty SS.  
Many people have suggested having it Soda Blasted or Plastic Bead 
Blasted but the whole point of getting this car was to do it 
myself.  So all the do-it-yourselfers please chime in.  

Since I'm going to probably have to sand the SS down once I get all 
the primer off anyways, using a razor wouldn't hurt it much would 
it?  Since I kept it real flat, it hasn't scratched it at all.  

Thanks for you input,
