Media Blasting Questions
I wound up taking the car to National Sandblasting in Los Angeles. What a difference. This place is huge and they seem to really know their business. They'll be using a combination of plastic media for the large panels that are prone to warpage and star blast everywhere else.
I'll be paying $1200, but I slept well last night.
I did remove the hinges. Not hard and I think it was the right way to go.
I also scraped the filler out of one of the rain gutters where it had failed. It was tough to get out and the other side still looked perfect so I left that side alone.
