Don't know about a media place in AZ but you can buy aircraft stripper. I have used a single edge razor blade and a heat gun before. It's slow going but it works pretty well.

I have used a paint stripper (pink stuff) from my local auto paint and supply store and it took off three coats of paint and one primer in two applications. It's best to use outdoors or in a well ventilated shop, the fumes kick a$$.

I called locally about having the bed of my truck soda blasted. I was quoted THREE HUNDRED AND FIFTY DOLLARS !!!! by the cracksmoking jerkoff ( you can quote me on that ) at the soda blasting facility. I'd be willing to bet they dont do a lot of volume .
