I finished two more last night, this RSR and a Hemi Cuda. Here are some details of the Porsche for Teutonic Tuesday!

This particular one started out life as the blue RSR. I had a black one I was thinking of using in my trade pile, but I realized that the gold wheels may not be the look I wanted.

After you've removed the paint using whatever method you prefer, you'll need a wire brush hobby/drill bit. Steel is preferable over brass.

The smaller the better, so you can get into the small angles and cracks. You'll need to put a little elbow grease into it (Not a lot, just a little). Finesse isn't exactly necessary, so you could stick it in a drill if you don't have a rotary tool. More pressure will be necessary to get paint out of door cracks, grills, etc.

It is strongly recommended that you wear eye protection. No fancy ANSI stamped stuff (although a pair will only put you back about $2), regular eyeglasses or sunglasses will do you just fine.

Here is where I've started with the brush, you can see the difference on the half of the roof that I've done:

Those little remnants of paint will get you. Grr. I suggest leaving it apart once you think you're done, so you can get a fresh look at it the next day to spot rogue paint chips.
