10 coats of old paint on metal pillars - options: chemical stripper, sander or heat gun?

Asked by joannamc (360points) February 23rd, 2011

I have two metal pillars, inside the house, which have years of old paint on them. I think that there must be around ten layers.
Which is going to be my best option for stripping them:
Heat gun,
chemical stripper or
hand held power sander?
(or stay on Fluther and pay a specialist to do it?)
