i just bough a sandblaster kit. Its was $35 at home depot. I just had ot try it out. It strippe dteh paint right off a nasty iold pair fo valve covers i had laying around. I would assume it would work equally well on other stuff. You can use sand, glass beads, walnut husks or a host of other stuff. From what i hear the walnut husks are what they use on hulls to remove paint. If you have a compressor get one and give it a try. It a hell of alot easier than sanding on your back wth checmicals drippign on you.

Puder- I just got one of those little sandblasters at Home Depot. How big a compressor are you using? (?scfm) It appears I am going to have to go buy a bigger one as mine is only 5.5 scfm@90 psi.

i have baby little compressor myself. I ws pulsing it. So i let pressure biuld up in eth line and pull the trigger intermitantly. Seemed to work better than way. I was also shooting it from a fe winches away. If you are going to be doing large areas you should get a bigger compressor. Evenm if you have to do it an 1" wide stri[p ata time it certainly is goign to be easier than sanding my hand or scrapping checmical ridden melted funky toxic paint. (i did taht once and didn;t really care for it when it melted the heavy duty gloves i was wearing)
