well i purchased a 84 200x about a week ago for 20 bucks and the thing was completely spray bombed. Now my question is whats a good way of getting the paint off of the frame because i am sick of sanding.

Wipe it down with a little laquer thinner....

Find someone to blast it for you. Or rent a protable sandblaster from somewhere and do it yourself. I tried to sand the RacerX's frame and gave up after an hour.

Paint stripper takes forever. I bought a sandblaster from harbor freight for around $120 and it works awesome. You can strip the whole frame in about 45 min and it makes the paint stick real good. Of course you have to have a good compressor. I connected two 15 gallon compressors together and still barely had enough power. Plus it's just kinda fun to use. Just like using a paint sprayer.
