For the guys who have blasted a full tub:
How much? How long? How much undercoating has to be removed before hand to get an effective strip? I'm starting to think the TurtleGirl project should go this way. |

I had no problem scaping the bottom of my car and wheels wells with a paint scraper. In a few spots I used a wire wheel on a drill where the crap was real, real thick. Of course, my tub was on a rotissiere, and this makes the work easy. However, it really isn't necessary. My media blaster used baking soda most every where, but they can use "black beauty" to remove almost anything. The media blasting took three days and cost $1,000. IMHO media blasting is the only way to go. I recommend using a facility that can shot a vinc rich primer (Dupont Viraprime) to prime immediately after blasting - otherwise the bare metal will flash rust in days.
