RE: [Classic Mustang] Media Blasting

Michael, I have used sand to strip my engine compartment.  It was a long tedious task, and turned out great, and with sand I could sweep it up, sift it and reuse it.  What I could not sweep up, merely went into the ground.  Lots of sand here in NJ.  I am reluctant to blast in the garage, as I don't want a lot of dust in there.  I just purchased a used cowl, and the previous owner used glass bead, but did not get all the area around the grill to bare metal before they primed.  My friend the professional painter made the comment about sand and heat.  I checked out Eastwoods for different blasters, but trying to get opinions from others before I buy.  Phil

I've never heard that before, Phil.   I suppose its possible... Will you be doing this yourself, or will you be taking to a professional to strip it?  If the latter, I would follow their recommendation. 

I've always glass beading my smaller parts - and I've never had a problem with that.  You could also have it cleaned chemically, I suppose.
