I am a strong beliver in sand blasting under one condition. The truck is in total pieces and you can do the complete piece. If you just want to spot clean
than do not use a sandblaster. to bigger mess.
I have a company close by my house which has 8 sandblasting stations and you can do your own work.
.65 cent US per minute. A minut with there blaster goes a long way. You have to be carefull on sheetmetal that you don't heat it to much and get some distortion.
you can see my sandblasting results on my website.
