So I have read a ton of past posts on blasting, and could use some advise... My 1 ton panel has surface rust inside and out (everywhere), and has been basically stripped down to a metal shell. Some of the exterior parts (cowl vent area) has some minor pitting. I have the entire front end disassembled. The roof already has some warping.
A local shop has quoted me for both inside and out of all the parts, for roughly 1400 to 1700, they charge by the hour, and said I can bring in just a few parts at a time if I want. They seemed knowledgable and the shop looks reputable from the drive by's I have done. They said they prefer to use a product called "Starblast". Has anyone used this product before without causing warping?
Should I have them do the entire truck inside and out? After it is blasted it will be stored inside, but should I find a paint shop to primer it right away? I have a set of rear doors which I have stripped to bare metal and after 3 months there is still no surface rust.
Any other advise you can give me?
