heat gun

Anyone used a heat gun to take paint off. I am thinking of the interior dash etc. for a 56 f-100. I know it is "slow process" but I hate chemicals and do not want to have the interior sandblasted to death. Will a heat gun warp any metal? Any other suggestions. How come their can't be a real simple way to do accomplish this? Thanksj

If the old paint is sound, I would just rough it up with sandpaper. I don't think the heat gun will give satisfactory results.

I have two layers of paint plus the primer. If I use the heat gun it appears that I can get both layers of paint off leaving the primer. I like what is happening.....I am planning on doing this only for the interior since I have already por'd the cab roof and the floor. Slow but sure....thanks
