Default Re: Strip or Sand old paint

Thanks all for the input. The more I was reading on blasting, the more I was leaning toward sanding.i always thought it was the heat that caused the warping so thought the hydro was the ticket. But then was reading that it's the pressure that does it, not the heat, and they're just as bad about warping as regular blasting. Now you throw in the type of paint the original is not being good to paint over... Sigh.

I figure I'll be taking the fenders and the one door with rust to a local shop to have them look at doing them. I'm not that skilled with that kind of body work and don't want it to end up wavey. Anyway, I'll add his thoughts to the mix and decide from there I guess.

Thanks again
