Barb - WHY O WHY are you taking all of the old paint off? Is it cracked, peeling or just plain rusty. Then maybe, just maybe you might consider mechanical removal (use a D-A sander). This may more work then necessary. A good surface prep. i.e. 180/220wet, shoot some good 2K over the existing paint, epoxy the bare spots then sand (lots) with 320 - 600, then sand some more, then paint. Why make more work then necessary(unless you want bulging biceps).

There are downfalls with stripper as well - if you don't get it all off or some 'hides out' in a seam - instant paint failure. And at the price of automotive paints,
