Removing paint from a 1954 Corvette using PLASTI-GRIT®. Paint removal from the Corvette’s fiberglass body requires careful handling of its delicate surface. Air pressure, media type, media size and distance are all important variables in achieving best results. This video highlights expert blasting by American Dry Stripping with PLASTI-GRIT®. One of the best features of plastic media blasting is its ability to do an excellent job removing paint from soft substrates, such as fiberglass, composites or aluminum. With careful calibrations of blast parameters, the Corvette will have all of the paint removed, making it ready for restoration and new paint.
