A "needle scaler?" I've never heard of such an implement.Would you mind describing it a bit?(I may need to get myself one as I have the same chore ahead on the wife's car.)

A needle scaler is a type of air tool that has long hardend still pins that vibrate and quickly removes paint, rust, undercoating,,dirt off of metal very easily,,,I bought mine at harbor freight for 20 bucks,,,worth it let me tell you..I scraped and scraped with a putty knife for hours until my uncle told me about it...After i started using it I was completely done with the job and had 100 times better results.

take a look,,,,,there not on sale now,,,,they are 29.99,,,,,
