H.T.,
Openin a can a worms on this post ...lol
Lotts LOVE THE CHEM STRIP PROCESS..while others say it aint the best way ..so you will prob. hear some Pros & Cons for sure.
Around my place there isnt a Chem strip place that is is anywhere close enough to justify the cost of haulin the parts..so I went with a my local Monument place an they did one heck of a job blastin on my sheetmetal (now they have a blaster with YRS. of exp. that does Auto parts).
Folks pay an dip there parts an cabs daily ..so I would think that there cannot be that much VOODOO in the process ..or there wouldnt be dippers in buisiness?
From what I have seen the Chem strip process does a FINE job.
If there woulda been a place close and cost effective I would have givin a try.
It is onna them things you have to decide on ..Chem strip will leave your sheetmetal "AS IS"..while blastin with the wrong or poorly trained will result in catastrophic warpin of things especialy like your hood.
So do your Homework an check out any blaster you may consider.
Just my 2 penny's.
