33 fuel there are several diffrnt ways to do this, we would like some more info on exactly what and on what kind of project you are working on???? how old is the project,how many coats of paint,etc????. as far as media blast we believe that they are small plastic or rubber pellets, realy dont recommend a stripper unless you have used it in the past because you dont want to get into the gel coat, you can use a da with 80 grit yo start and then block sand it. The way we strip a vette here is by Razor Blading it, two guys on one car can strip a vette in about an 8 hr day. If you would like a one on one just call any time sundays are ok also at 309-343-9815 ask for David. hope this helps
