Default paint stripping question Looking for Plastic Blast

Hi, In upper New York State we used to have two plastic Media Blasters/paint strippers. One near Rochester, one in Binghamton. They are closed, does anyone know know of any in NY or Northern Pa. ? Your help will be appreciated. I have chemically stripped several but I have a need to have a steel car blasted.

If you're going to have a car blasted I would look into soda blasting instead of plastic media. Soda is easier to use, doesn't have to be contained, is cheaper, and it emulsifies grease so it leaves the surface ready to be primed immediately.
