Best method of rust/paint removal and refiniishing.

[mastershake916]

I have a frame that is heavily oxidized, and doesn't have much paint left.

I plan to strip all of the paint and remove as much rust as I can, then give it a couple coats of primer.
So what is the most effective way to remove paint and rust?
And would it hurt to just go over it with some PB-blast right now?
Also I'm a little concerned that the paint is lead-base.

Thank you.

That turned out well.
I've also heard about something made by 3M that will strip paint without the risk of messing with the metal.

I've been meaning to call these guys to see what it powder coating costs.
