Go do something else on the car when the thought of paint stripping makes you want to scream. You'll get there.

I'm not quite at the point where I want to stop - usually when that happens I start thinking about the next project (!) and I'm not there just yet.
The costs of the super expensive paint stripper and all of the other stuff is mounting up more alarmingly than the time involved scraping which is also making me think this "quick project" is getting even more out of hand than was ever planned.
When you see piles like this =>
(And) you are vaguely aware of the cost of the consumables so far you start to think about easier ways. I'd be happy to part with 300 or 400 euros for a pain free solution as that's getting to be about double the price spent on removing upper body paint consumables so far - so paying someone twice what it would cost you do to it yourself isn't such a bad ratio / multiplier. Unfortunately Dutch labour prices seem to be striking again - they seem to work on multipliers of four times or more of what it would cost you to DIY. That's why I usually go for the time rich DIY solution (in other words I'm paying for them to sit around and drink coffee all day!)
