One of my friends tried a dry ice company. We learned there are several ways of doing it.
The method used by the companies mentioned at the beginning of the thread shoot dry ice pellets at the body. We couldn't find anyone having such equipment. I contacted the manufacturer and they told me a basic setup costs about 50,000 Euros and requires a compressor similar to what is used for large jack hammers on construction sites (e.g. the trailers with the diesel engines).
The method used by the guy my friend used apparently looked more like a pressure washer with liquid nitrogen. This works too, but probably takes a lot more time than the pellet machines. In a test, it took about 5 minutes to remove about 4 sq. in of coating inside the trunk lid of a 2600 Touring Spider. The results were good -- but not any faster than using a torch to soften the undercoating for scraping it off.
So, I suggest you run tests first to see how much time it takes (and what the resulting costs are).
