Is it a no no to bead blast the individual grlle bars to remove rust and paint? Has anyone done this successfully? I don't want to distort them but they seem reasonably stout enough to withstand blasting. These are from a 49 Chevy 1/2 ton. Thanks

rwise,

No problem putting them in the blast cabinet, you could even use coarse blasting sand without a problem. They will not warp as there are plenty of ribs, bends, creases in the part and not enough surface area between these points for compressive forces to distort anything. Blast away, get that corrosion off!
