Should paint come off like this?

Looks normal procedure for stripping paint to me. Some types of paint are removed more easy and quicker doing it that way. I used that method to remove a lot of paint on a car that had been painted in the 70s. It was either imron or enamel and it was thick. If what was in video wasn't put on well then it would have already peeled although video doesn't show much of the rest of what they are working on.
 
Good to know, thanks for the replies. There were some areas where the paint just roled off like pealing an apple but 80% is chipping like the video. Now I'll continue on understanding the previous work was most likely done well.
 
use heat! those damn chips are deadly. they will take forever to clean up and if you get one in your eye it will cut bad.
this is the way to do it.

i dont know. to me that is coming off a little too easy. adhesion is probably adequate for what its on so it probably never showed any issues. if that had a sealer coat of epoxy put down maybe 30 min before the single stage then you would not be able to get it to come off like that. what your seeing is most likely normal for long cure times on each layer and just sanding and spraying with no sealer. i would never go over that which is why i assume your stripping it off.
 
Areas had already started pealing on their own where I was able to just peel it off like sunburnt skin, hence why I decided to remove it all for a repaint. And yes, several areas are pulling off what I see as just primer and nothing under it but metal, so no epoxy was put on. As for heating, I don't have a heat gun and suppose hair dryer is not enough, or will burn itself up in the process.
