Thanks for your input it's appreciated.
The truck is now dismantled and is ready to go to the blaster. so I guess I'll paint it in pieces when the smoothing process is done and its ready. One more quick question if you don't mind? I plan on black epoxy priming the parts after blast is that the right way to go or do I have to etch prime it first, 'cause I had been told before, if I get the black epoxy primer that is for contact with bare steel it is alright to not use etching primer. Just wondering what your thoughts are on this. Thanks agian.
