Ive tried that after hearing good things about it but can't seem to get on with it, maybe im just doing it wrong whats the best way to use it and how long to leave it on for?

might take a few attempts but you should see the paint start to soften/bubble up. I have used it for all sorts, even stripped an old garage door back to nothing before a repaint.

Not sure where you are based , but you could try these people Maldon Shotblasting and Powder Coating - for all your shotblasted and powder coated projects based in Maldon , I haven't used them , but I remember looking at their site before
