I have a guy from BARC ( Bakersfield Association for Retarded Citizens ) that cleans up around the shop 30 hours per week. I give him a tarp to lay on the ground and a couple gallons of paint stripper. It takes him a while, but I just try to cover his expenses. If he works for 5 hours I might bill for 1.5 hours. And he strips the paint by hand. There is a dipper down in the LA area but with the regulations in this state I doubt he will be around for much longer. Blasting is just too rough on the metal. If you go to the wrong dipper you will have more problems then it is worth.
