Yeah, after sandblasting I blew it out with an air hose at line pressure, which at the shop is 120 psi. Then later I took the shop vac to it and pulled 50 Lbs. of sand out of the doors and cab corners. Then took the air hose to it again. I think I got MOST of it.
I was afraid of warping the hood and fenders, so I used paint stripper on them. That stuff stinks. Also I still had to scrape all the little nooks and crannies with a scraper. It still didn't get all the paint off, so I had to sandblast anyway.
Give me a sandblaster (or sodablaster)any day.
AChipmunk I'll have to send you a picture of my wife's car sitting in the body shop - chopped in half. We got hit from behind on the day of the GABFEST, and to fix the car, we had to find a donor that had been smashed in the front. The two halves are now welded together at the original factory weld points, and she looks good as new. Better than new actually, the door and hood gaps are now a consistent 1/4 inch all around. It wasn't that way from the factory.
