Yes I stripped the cover and coated it with a Gloss Black base and 2 coats of Super Durable illusion Lapis. masking was a little tedious but I think it was worth it. I just sent it back to the owner in Florida this week. ---

If care is taken and proper cleaning utilized then there is nothing but clean cover to work with. The blasting would only be done on something that had a coating that wouldn’t react with stripper.
