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.

   I have a side business doing wet blasting. My equipment is a Geoblaster
   but a dustless blasting unit sold out of Houston does a good job too.
