Somebody around you probably does this. It will strip anything with zero
metal damage. In fact, the process actually cools the metal in the process.
It can take off anything from powdercoat down to one layer of paint off of
a fiberglass boat hull with no dust or excessive punting of the underlying
material. It will do what you need. If you are close to NE Florida I would
strip it for you.
