While hand stripping is an option to remove the old paint of your car, it can be a very long drawn out process. An easier way is Media Blasting.

A common misconception is that Media Blasting is similar to Sandblasting. However, there is a huge difference between the two. Media Blasting became popular due to the need to find an alternative to Sandblasting (which damages surfaces and flat metal sheets). Thus Media Blasting is not so abrasive and is also environmentally friendly. For these reasons, Media Blasting is a far better for getting a new paint job for a car.

There are several forms of media blasting to choose from - walnut shells, plastic beads, baking soda etc. You need to start off with a rough material in order to remove most of the paint. Rough media includes sand and walnut shells. However, you could also choose soft media such the baking soda and plastic beads, as soft media does not do any damage to sheet metal surface. Dry ice is also used in media blasting as it doesn't leave any residue.

Media Blasting is can be useful for removing paint and retaining the smooth surface of the car, and for removing rust and other items from sensitive surfaces.
