RE: paint prep

[Jim Jablonski <jim@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I don't know what soda blasting is, but I had my car media blasted a few 
years ago.  The thought then, of course, is that media blasting is a 
gentler process then sand.

I stripped the car myself, leaving only the wheels and the dash still on 
the car.  The cost was about $800 as I recall, including a thin coat of 
acid-etched primer.

I was pleased with the results.  The only drawbacks were a bit of 
unwanted primer overspray in a few areas, and the darn little media 
pellets come "out of the woodwork" whenever I need to take a hammer to 
something.
