Hey guys,

I am restoring an '86 Formula 242 LS, and I need to have the nasty bottom paint removed. Does anyone know of a good media blaster in the Long Island, NY area? Thanks in advance.

No chem paint stripping incorporated 929 lincoln ave hlbrk 11747 631-563-2750 think the media might wreck gel coat try paint stripper with a good razer.

I was thinking there is a media "Pecan shells?" Walnut? Something Like that that wont harm the Gel ...oh Baking Soda?????? m

I called No Chem and they do not do any work for the general public anymore...they only work wholesale for large marinas. Still looking for a local blaster...

you can have them do it at my shop if you like, in lindenhurst. I might have another boat for them anyhow, I have used them quite a few times.

you can also check Buddy Lowman ( spelling? ), also in lindenhurst.

soda blasting works great and does not hurt the gel. no chemicals and cuts right through the bottom paint. They use regular baking soda
