Good Bottom paint remover in Orlando

[shag]

I just had my bottom paint removed on a Mastercraft Barefoot 200 (19' hull). I found a guy (Leo) new to Orlando, his company is Blast All. 407-219-2695. I am going to upload a few before and after pics. The paint was multiple layers, and he got most all of it off, so I will only have to wetsand a few areas and then probably 3M microfinishing compound, and wax it all. It only took about three hours, and I used my engine hoist to lift the bow (set it on a large block with a small V in it, then moved the hoist around to the side and lifted each side, one at a time. He used walnut shells and there is only a couple small areas that might have hurt the gel coat, which I think I probably would have done more damage scraping the bottom with the paint remover. Best of all, it only cost me $300. much less than I have heard. He also can use baking soda, but recommended walnut shells for mine. I think he charges $120-130/hr, including media and labor.:cheers:

Shag, You sure got one heck of a deal there! 300.00 is the cheapest that i have ever heard of.And from personal experiences i can say you did the right thing(getting someone else to do it).If i could have gotten a price that good i would never have tackled mine. That was the nastiest job and won't ever do it again.

Looks good man!! I rented a BlastCo rig here in Dallas for 250.00 and paid 400.00
for all the soda media. It took me 12 hours to do my 201 Stratos and trailer

Go to the Dollar store and buy oven cleaner. Works great
