How to gently remove a color change

This truck got a blue respray by the original owner sometime before 1991. Inside and out over the beautiful vermillion red exterior and fawn interior. It looks pretty straight with original sheet metal. I see the original red everywhere the blue has flaked off. Bondo only to fill the dimpled trim holes.

Has anyone had success removing something like this? I've had success on another car with the aircraft stripper I got from my local auto parts house. However on this truck, the blue is so well bonded to the red. Ive tried some spots under the cowl and inside the bed. Anything I use that dissolves the blue also softens the red. Ideas other than wet sanding?
