ABSTRACT:
A paint removal apparatus includes a canister partially filled with a pressurized coolant. The apparatus includes a housing having a body portion mounted atop the canister with a handle portion extending from the body portion. The handle includes an inlet port while the body portion includes first and second outlet ports. The inlet port is capable of connection to a compressed air stream for delivery thereof through an air channel between the inlet and second outlet ports. A coolant channel extends between the canister and the first outlet port. A trigger connected to a primary valve is movable between first, second, and third configurations. The primary valve and cooperating linkages enable a user to select between delivery of the air stream alone or a portion of the coolant whereby to strip paint. A scraping blade may be removably and rotatably coupled to the housing. The coolant may be dry ice.
