When prepping a car for sandblasting, what is the common thing to do with the aluminum tags in the front trunk and door pillar?
I suppose the second question would be do I acid dip the car or get it sandblasted? |

And you can do the electrolysis process on a whole car too. Place in Cincinnati called American Metal Refinishing that used that process to clean some fenders and a rear lid on my teener. Parts went in rusty and painted, and came back beautifully cleaned. They even knocked the rust out of the fold at the back of the rear lid. Parts were charged and lasted for more than 6 months without rusting. Watched them haul an old model T out of their inground pool and an engine block. Looked great. Looks like they are a chain with a few more places here and there.
Doesn't go between welded seams, but then nothing does. |

This is how I did my chassis, years ago there was a shop in White Bear Lake that did this process. The chassis didn't flash rust at all and I worked on it for a whole summer before sealing it. |
