Re-painting Shutters
This house I bought has shutters in the shed. They are in good shape with 3 layers of paint on them. I started removing the paint because I don't want them to have that "painted over the old paint" look when I am finished.
I started using a heat gun yesterday but was just wondering what is the best and fastest way of removing the old paint?
Thanks!

I'm not sure there is a 'best' way to remove old paint - unless it was to let someone else do it 
A heat gun or paint and varnish remover are the 2 most commonly used methods.

Yes, the best and fastest way is to take them to a stripper and have them "dipped"
Stripping is a time-consuming and messy job
Not many products that really work well left
A heat gun and scraping, and then stripping may work
