Just so you know you, in your driveway soda blasting here in Orlando is 60 to 100 per hour with an estimate given up front. I was quoted a price one year ago of 250 if I remember correctly for the bottom of my V. Please note I did not blast it after all after I discovered it was the original gel I then decided to scuff it and re-shoot it with Gel. Here is a photo..before and after ...

looks nice!

May I ask approximately how many hours this took you, and how many cans of oven-cleaner were required?

[EDIT] and did you neutralize the oven cleaner with anything (like baking soda for example), or just wash it off with water?

It took about 10 cans of easy off but it did not take off the last layer of bottom paint I had to sand that off,but the easy off did save me alot of sanding.Did nothing but wash it off,it does not harm gelcoat
